Two people smiling and holding a large check for $10,000 from Rollstone Bank & Trust. The check is made out to Habitat for Humanity NCM for critical home repair. They are standing in an office with "RBT Wealth Management" on the wall. Five people in hard hats pose with a large check on a snowy site in front of a newly constructed building. A sign in the foreground reads "North Star Journey Home." They appear to be celebrating or marking an event.

Rollstone Bank & Trust, through its Charitable Foundation, provided $10,000 to Habitat for Humanity North Central MA for its Critical Repair program. Proceeds will support projects across the region that allow low-income homeowners to maintain a safe place to live so they may stay in their homes. It also provided $10,000 to North Star Family Services to continue its work serving homeless families in Northern Worcester County.

“Habitat for Humanity North Central Massachusetts (Habitat NCM) is very grateful for the financial support we have received from Rollstone for our Critical Home Repair Program (CHR)”, states Carolyn Read, executive director of Habitat NCM. “Through the years, this funding has allowed us to dramatically grow the CHR program and help low-income homeowners who struggle to maintain the safety and integrity of their homes. Through this program, homeowners have been able to remain in their homes and in many cases, age in place.”

Jon Hogue, President & CEO of North Star Family Services, Inc., said, “Rollstone Bank & Trust has been one of our strongest supporters and advocates for more than a decade. Marty and his team readily provide donations, education, and guidance. RBT has been a key partner in our shelter operation as well as the development of our new Journey Home supportive housing project.” Hogue continued, “We are so fortunate to have Rollstone as our friend.”

Martin F. Connors, Jr., President & CEO of Rollstone Bank & Trust, said, “Habitat and North Star are great organizations, providing our neighbors with the most basic necessity – a roof over their heads.” Connors added, “It’s the mission of RBT to help families, communities, and businesses flourish, so we’re proud to support programs that are vital to the health and well-being of families in our community.”
