MCT aids Family Promise with homemade soup sale

Mauch Chunk Trust Company, with five branch offices in Carbon County and two in Schuylkill County, will again serve Soup for a Cause to raise money for the Family Promise of Carbon County.

A Lobby Soup Day will take place between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. Friday at the following MCT branch locations:

• Redner’s Warehouse Branch Office in Nesquehoning

• North Street Branch Office in Jim Thorpe, Pine Point Plaza Branch Office in Albrightsville

• Lehighton Branch Office, 735 Blakeslee Blvd Drive E., Lehighton.

Donations will be accepted for a cup of homemade soup to benefit the Family Promise of Carbon County in their mission to aid low-income families. MCT employees are able to participate in the efforts by individually donating money for a chance to dress down for the day or by donating their time and talents making soup for the event.

“Family Promise has a big impact in our area with the programs they offer,” Ann Marie Richmond, Community Office Manager at MCT, said. “This is MCT’s way of bringing attention to a great organization. MCT is known for serving the financial needs of our customers but we also believe that serving the needs of our communities is our privilege.”
