Steven M. Sousa, executive vice president and chief operating officer of MutualOne Bank and a MutualOne Charitable Foundation trustee, announced that the Foundation has awarded a $9,100 grant to A Place To Turn in Natick.

A Place To Turn assists low-income MetroWest families and individuals with basic needs such as food and diapers. The MutualOne award provides funding for their “Eat Fresh” program offering clients fresh fruits and vegetables in addition to routine food pantry items. This is the eighth consecutive year that the MutualOne Charitable Foundation has contributed to the “Eat Fresh” program, according to A Place to Turn Executive Director Joanne Barry.

“We are happy to help this time-tested program that takes traditional food pantry selections to a fresher, healthier level,” said Sousa.”
