The U.S. Marine Corps Reserve in Plainville received more than 700 gifts for its Toys for Tots holiday collection drive from the employees, customers and friends of Farmington Bank. In addition, the Farmington Bank Foundation, the charitable arm of Farmington Bank, donated $5,000 to help the Marines purchase additional toys. Both the toy and cash donations helped make the holidays brighter for less fortunate children and families in six Connecticut counties. Farmington Bank also held a toy and monetary drive at its corporate office in Farmington for the benefit of The Bridge Family Center, a nonprofit organization providing child and family programs, counseling and teen shelters in West Hartford and Greater Hartford.
