Need a hand? We have volunteers!

Just ask. Let us know what kind of help your nonprofit, school, or civic group might need and we’ll see how we can work together. If your group is a nonprofit and based in a town Liberty Bank serves, we’ll be glad to make your volunteer opportunity known to our employees. Email us and let us know:

  • Type of project or event
  • Time, date, location
  • Number of volunteers needed

We truly value our partnership with The Liberty Bank Foundation. Our mission is to build sustainable communities of hope and opportunity throughout all of Hartford and now Tolland County. And with our partners like The Liberty Bank Foundation, our four recently built “zero energy” homes will be the first of many in the years to come.
