Rockland Trust Finds Home for Franklin Food Pantry

May 20, 2009

FRANKLIN - On May 20th the Patriot Ledger reported that Rockland Trust is donating the use of a 3,600-square-foot building to the Franklin Food Pantry. The announcement followed the bank’s merger with Benjamin Franklin Bank. The food pantry needed a new location after Franklin town officials decided the food pantry could no longer use the town-owned space that it had been using.

Rockland Trust isn’t donating the building outright. Instead, Rockland Trust will charge the food pantry the market rate for two years for a lease to use the entire building, and the bank will fully reimburse the food pantry for the lease costs, Valente said. Those costs will total about $85,000 over two years.

The food pantry, which serves nearly 2,200 clients from 15 communities, is expected to make the move next month.
