Community Service of Newburyport received approximately $3,000 in gift cards and personal care items to help families in need.  The group, which refers to itself as “It takes a Village,” holds an annual community service Christmas party and collects donations and personal care items each year to give back during the holidays.   Thank you ‘Villagers” and also the employees of Newburyport Bank who helped make this happen.
