ELLSWORTH – The Union Trust Co. has touched the lives of some special individuals this season in the spirit of giving. The company participated as a group to purchase toys and clothing to benefit children in eastern Maine through the Christmas for Kids Program.

In addition, employees worked with Community Health and Counseling Services to provide a special Christmas for a group of traumatized teens in the care of CHCS.

Union Trust employees dedicated the donation proceeds of their December dress-down day to provide a special Christmas for the teens, which for some will be their first Christmas experience.

Union Trust employees will shop for individual gifts from the teens’ wish lists with the donated funds.
