When The Manor came out with an email requesting donations for their renovation project recently, Monarch Community Bank employees were excited to help the residential treatment and special education facility in Jonesville. Then came notification that The Manor received more donations than expected from the community, but employees at Monarch were able to help in another way.

“On The Manor’s website, they have provided list of items that the residents at the facility are in need of. We were excited to fulfill some of those wants and needs,” said Jill Parsons, teller manager at the Hillsdale Branch located in Hillsdale on Carleton Road.

The bank employees went shopping and got a variety of items which were on the wish list including: construction paper, markers, crayons, towels, wash cloths, underwear, socks, shampoo, coloring books, chalk, notebooks, folders, and more. When employees went to bring the items to get donated development coordinator, Jon Beal, gave the employees a tour of the facility and the stressed the importance of donations from the community. If you’re interested in making a donation or viewing the wish list for The Manor, go to their website at www.the-manor.org. “We’re glad we were able to help the residents in some small way and we look forward to more donations in the future,” said Courtney Dirschell of the marketing department at the bank.
