Reading, MA -– Reading Cooperative Bank (RCB) recently gave $5,000 to the Lawrence Partnership, continuing its ongoing support for the organization and its endeavors. The partnership’s work is comprised of activities which bring together partners across sectors to break down barriers that constrain business growth and employment opportunities for the residents of Lawrence. Lawrence Partnership brings investment capital and expert mentoring to new and small businesses that traditionally have difficulty accessing both. They work with large organizations, in various capacities, to create lasting employment opportunities and upward mobility for citizens, serving as an advocate and voice for the City of Lawrence by communicating successes and milestones to those in surrounding communities.
“The Bank is proud to contribute to the multifaceted work of the Lawrence Partnership,” said Julie Thurlow, President & CEO at RCB. “We’re more than happy to align ourselves with a group that aims to accelerate economic development by investing in the people and future of this diverse and historic mill city.”
