Region – Employees at Commerce Bank’s main office in Worcester and local branch offices recently donated 65 coats to the Worcester Community Action Council’s annual new coat drive, which collects new coats, hats, and mittens for over 325 children from families in need.
The Worcester Community Action Council’s mission is helping people move to economic self-sufficiency through programs, partnerships, and advocacy. Started in 1965 under President Lyndon B. Johnson’s “War on Poverty,” today the agency serves the city of Worcester and 43 surrounding towns through 18 emergency and social service programs.
