Local Businesses Partner to Provide Fuel Assistance - Encourage Others to Do the Same

The company names are synonymous with community giving, so it should be no surprise that DF Richard and Federal Savings Bank have joined forces to provide additional fuel assistance to individuals and families in need this winter.

Betsey Andrews Parker, Executive Director of Community Action Partnership of Strafford County (CAP), was saddened to learn that funding for the organization's fuel assistance program would be cut this year. "The demand has increased while the funding has decreased, which means families in need are receiving less assistance and due to eligibility requirements CAP has had to turn some people away," she said.

Upon reading about the shortfall of fuel assistance funding, Federal Savings Bank immediately took notice and offered a donation to CAP, but they didn't stop there. They also contacted DF Richard, a locally owned heating oil and propane business who has been a strong supporter of CAP. Together the businesses are contributing $3,000 for CAP's Low Income Heat and Energy Assistance Program. "It is our pleasure to provide assistance to people in need. This challenging economy has impacted so many families in the community and while we are saddened to know of their hardships, we are pleased to take this opportunity to give back," according to Bob Richard, DF Richard President.

DF Richard and FSB are unquestionably making a difference with their generous gifts, but they are encouraging other local businesses to do the same. "I believe this community can accomplish great things by working together," according to FSB President & CEO, James J. O'Neill, Jr. "Regardless of the economic challenges we are all facing, I would encourage other local businesses to review their community reinvestment programs and consider making a donation to support fuel assistance programs. Every dollar donated means a warmer winter for deserving people in our very own backyards," O'Neill added.

Community Action Partnership of Strafford County is a 501(c)(3) private nonprofit organization established in 1965 that works with community, state and federal partners to assist children, families, low-income and elderly residents with their efforts to become or remain financially and socially independent. For more information, visit www.straffordcap.org.

For more than 75 years, D.F. Richard Energy has been providing the people of seacoast New Hampshire and southern Maine with heating oil and propane to heat their homes and water, and power their appliances. DF Richard is one of the community's most active corporate partners contributing thousands of dollars annually to local, non-profit organizations. For more information, visit www.dfrichard.com.

Gundalow Company Receives Support from Federal Savings Bank

Portsmouth – Federal Savings Bank recently pledged $10,000 to The Gundalow Company for the construction of a new gundalow that is currently being built on the grounds of Strawberry Banke.

Since 2002, the Gundalow Company has used the Captain Edward H. Adams – a replica modeled after the last gundalow to carry cargo on the Bay – to provide “dockside” programs to more than 100,000 visitors. But the Adams is too authentic to comply with modern U.S. Coast Guard safety requirements. Recognizing the need to get students of all ages afloat to genuinely connect with their rivers and bay, the Gundalow Company has begun construction on a new gundalow. Looking and feeling authentic, it will have the safety features and structural integrity required by the U.S. Coast Guard for passenger-carrying vessels.

“Federal Savings Bank is pleased to have this opportunity to support a project that through onsite visits and classroom curriculums impacts over 10,000 students annually,” said FSB President and CEO James J. O’Neill, Jr. The new gundalow is currently being constructed at the Puddle Dock at Strawberry Banke. Tours are available with paid admission to the museum seven days a week from 10am – 5pm. For more information, visit www.gundalow.org.
