Citizens gives $10K to McAuley

PROVIDENCE – The Citizens Bank Foundation this month announced that has given $10,000 to McAuley House for its Lunch on Us program. The grant, which will cover costs for the month of November, will help the organization provide more than 5,000 meals to individuals in the Providence area.
According to a news release, McAuley House launched Lunch on Us in 2007, aiming to partner with community leaders who wanted to see the direct impact of their generosity. The Citizens Bank Foundation funded the first month of meals for the program, becoming the founding sponsor. Now in its eighth year, the program serves more than 10,000 guests each year who are homeless or low-income and need food assistance.
Support of the McAuley House is a part of Citizens Helping Citizens Fight Hunger, which is part of the bank’s broader Citizens Helping Citizens program addressing five key areas: hunger, housing, economic development, financial education and volunteerism.
