During this special time of the year, we are especially excited that our branches are making the season a little brighter for others,” Kathy Bushway, senior vice president of marketing for Home Savings, said in a statement. “The branches have had a lot of fun surprising people with random acts of kindness, and they are looking forward to spreading more cheer this holiday season.”

The branches have planned more than 40 acts of kindness this year. For updates, visit the “Home Savings & Loan” Facebook page.
