SANFORD — ‘Tis the season for giving, and SIS Bank is of no exception when it comes to giving back to the community. Most recently, SIS has selected Animal Welfare Society of Kennebunk as its 32^nd local charity to receive $500 as part of the Bank’s Employee Donation Program.

Animal Welfare Society is near and dear to many at SIS Bank. In fact, the no-kill animal shelter in Kennebunk has received several donations made by SIS through various charitable campaigns because many SIS employees have found their pets at AWS.

Maureen Theriault, Teller at the SIS Bank Waterboro branch, selected AWS as her charity of choice immediately because of her passion for helping and caring for animals.

“AWS provides care and support for so many animals, and has positively impacted the lives of those pets as well as the individuals and families that have adopted them,” says SIS Bank President & CEO Blaine Boudreau. “We couldn’t be happier to continue our support of AWS, especially since the shelter has provided forever pets to many of our employees.”
