Through Operation Christmas Child, children in need are gifted shoeboxes filled with toys, school supplies, and hygiene items. Since 1993, more than 198 million children in more than 170 countries and territories have received an Operation Christmas Child shoebox! Our late employee, Tina Libby was an ambassador for Operation Christmas Child in our community. Every year she organized friends, family, neighbors, and folks at her church to put together hundreds of shoe boxes. We seek to continue her legacy and love of service by engaging our employees, customers, and community in putting together shoe boxes for children in need.

Tina Libby was a dear member of the Skowhegan Savings Bank family for over 25 years. Each day she gave us smiles and made coming to work, fun. She lived a life of service and was dedicated to giving back. Tina's legacy is an example for all of us at Skowhegan Savings to live life to the fullest and to put the needs of others first.

“Tina was so dedicated to making sure kids in need were taken care of. Every year she would work with her church to put together several hundred shoe boxes. I'm proud to help continue that effort to honor her.
