Commitment to Community
WCB operates differently than many banks by placing greater emphasis on its efforts within the community.
WCB Team Rallies for the Jimmy Fund
Winchester Co-operative Bank employees once again participated in the Rally for the Jimmy Fund to help raise funds for cancer research and patient care at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. In return for their contribution staff could wear team gear to work on Monday, April 3rd, in celebration of Opening Day for Boston’s home team.
We are happy to announce that the employees raised over $2,500 for the Jimmy Fund.
WCB Supports Community Development Initiatives
Throughout 2017, the City of Woburn is celebrating the 375th anniversary of its incorporation as a city. The occasion represents an extraordinary opportunity to recognize the rich heritage of this great City. Winchester Co-operative Bank made a contribution to the City to ensure the celebratory events throughout the year can be enjoyed by all. While WCB does not have a branch within the City of Woburn, we value the strong relationships we have with so many Woburn residents and businesses.

English At Large (EAL) is a nonprofit organization based in Woburn, MA whose mission is to provide individual and small group instruction, through a volunteer network, to adult immigrants and other newcomers looking to acquire English language skills as they adapt to life in the United States. EAL recently conducted its annual online fundraising auction, “A Bid for Literacy”. All auction proceeds will be used to provide free English language services to adult immigrants who need them in 21 Greater Boston communities. WCB was a platinum sponsor of the auction and WCB’s Coley Carden is a member of EAL’s Board.
