Reading Makes Cent$ Program

At Rockland Trust, we believe in strengthening the communities in which we work and live - in fact, this is one of our corporate promises.

To fulfill this promise, this summer, we are hosting our 17th annual summer reading program, "Reading Makes Cent$" to encourage children in Massachusetts to read and learn the value of saving their money.
