Newtown Savings Bank

Thank you for joining us at the Newtown Labor Day Parade! Our team had so much fun decorating the grandstand to fit this year's 'Garden of Plenty' theme.

On August 18th, our area experienced unprecedented flooding that impacted thousands of our friends and neighbors.

As part of our efforts, we've established a special reduced-rate Flood Relief Loan, tailored for residents in our community who need fast and affordable funding to restore or renovate their properties. For more details, please visit NSBonline.com/flood

CT's Department of Economic and Community Development is also offering grants to impacted small businesses and nonprofits. The portal opened today and will remain open until funds are exhausted. Apply now https://ctwbdc.org/flood-recovery/

We will be closed in observance of Labor Day on Monday, September 2, 2024.

As always, online banking and our app will be available for your convenience.

We are honored to recognize Gordon Williams as the inaugural recipient of the Mary Hawley Public Service Award. Mr. Williams, through his exceptional service, has significantly contributed to numerous local organizations. His exemplary leadership and commitment to our community truly embodies the spirit of Newtown's beloved benefactress, Mary Hawley.

In celebration of Mr. Williams, we are proud to donate to the Newtown-based nonprofits of his choice:

The Newtown Scholarship Association, Friends of CH Booth Library- Newtown, CT, Newtown Forest Association, and The Newtown Fund.

We look forward to continuing to recognize our friends and neighbors who graciously serve the Newtown community for years to come. 💙

As our community recovers from the flooding and storm damage, it is crucial to stay vigilant against scammers who might take advantage of the circumstances. Individuals may pose as contractors, charity workers, or even government officials. Here are a few scams to be aware of and tips to help protect yourself and your loved ones.

🛠️ Clean-up and Repair Scams: Scammers often offer repair services at a low price. Be sure to research potential contractors, ask for credentials, identification, proof of insurance, and make sure to have a written signed contract detailing the work that will be done.

💸 Charity Scams: You may want to donate money to support the disaster recovery process. Scammers take advantage of good intentions by creating fake charities. Always research a charity before giving and ask questions about how your donation will be used.

🚘 Flooded Car Sales: Vehicles damaged by flooding may be sold on the car market. Some signs that a car may have been flooded include signs of water damage, mildew, fogged headlights, and a musty smell. Buyers should look for signs of damage, get a vehicle history report, and report any instances of fraud.
