St. Mary's Bank, the nation's first credit union, celebrated the opening of its new branch office and education center at 48 Perimeter Road, Mancherster with a ribbon cutting ceremony attended by New Hampshire Bank Commissioner Ronald A. Wilbur and Manchester Mayor Ted Gatsas. St. Mary's Bank President and CEO  Ronald H. Covey hosted the event, which included a tour of the newly renovated, 31,000-square-foot facility.

A service representative, 24-hour ATM and coin counting machine are also available. The credit union plans to offer local non-profit partners use of the space for meetings.
DONATES TO THE CAREGIVERS, INC.
St. Mary's Bank announced it recently gave $2,725 to The CareGivers, Inc., a small, grassroots non-profit organization dedicated to helping the frail, elderly and disabled maintain their independence and dignity through the spirit of volunteerism.The CareGivers coordinates the distribution of food, transportation, and a personal presence for those in need. The funds will specifically be used to purchase a tracking software program for the group's Caring Cupboard.
"The CareGivers gives so much more than food to those in need in our community-they also provide company and conversation to many who are unable to leave their homes. This support helps individuals stay in their own homes and stay connected to their community," said Tom Champagne, Director of Community Outreach at St. Mary's Bank. "St. Mary's is pleased to support the important work done by The CareGivers and applauds the heroic efforts of their volunteers."
