The Ark Animal Sanctuary in Houlton was presented with a check May 28 from T.D. Bank as part of the Affinity program. “At TD Bank, we recognize that the growth and success of local nonprofits enrich the communities in which we all live and work,” said Margaret Cook, right, TD
Bank’s Affinity coordinator. “Our Affinity Membership Program provides nonprofit organizations an easy way to raise money. The more members who bank with us, the more money the organization can earn. There are no costs involved…in fact, it actually pays the organization to belong.” The Ark is a nonprofit 501c3, no-kill sanctuary. All of its money comes from donations, fundraising and grants. With Cook is Loraine Monfils, Ark executive director.
