Shore United Bank Donates in Honor of GivingTuesday
November 2019
We are proud to be a community bank – one who supports and is actively involved in their local community. For the past few months, employees have been selling Shore United Bank cookbooks to raise money to donate in honor of GivingTuesday. GivingTuesday is a global giving movement, where companies come together to give back to the communities they serve. Collectively, we will be donating over $7,000 to 23 different non-profit organizations. Each location chose a non-profit organization to donate their cookbook proceeds to. Non-profit organizations benefiting from this initiative include health and human service organizations, such as homeless shelters and food banks; youth and education organizations, such as schools and youth sports teams; and animal rescue organizations, such as shelters and clinics.

Shore United Bank Proudly Supports Chesapeake Center
August 2019
We have stepped up as the first corporate pledge, donating $5,000 towards the purchase of a 2018 Ford Wheelchair Van. The Chesapeake Center is located on Dover Street in Easton, Maryland. They serve over 100 individuals with disabilities in Talbot, Caroline, Queen Anne’s and Dorchester counties. Of the individuals they serve, 20% of them use a wheelchair, walker or cane and are unable to access public transportation. The Chesapeake Center provides transportation to and from the individual’s home and the Center and transports them to and from their jobs, community events and appointments such as, the doctor, pharmacy and social services. The current vans that the Chesapeake Center is using to transport individuals are unreliable, unsafe and unrepairable. We urge the community to support the Chesapeake Center’s goal of purchasing a new van to transport Center participants. Visit their website at ChesapeakeCenter.org to pledge.
