UniBank supports local Nonprofits
Every December for nearly a decade, UniBank CEO Michael Welch has been hand-delivering fresh turkey meals in Worcester County to help those struggling to put food on their table.
The deliveries are part of Haulin’ 4 Hunger, an initiative started by Shrewsbury-based Advantage Truck Group that this past December marked 10years of giving and over 30,000 meals donated to help those facing hunger and food insecurity in its local communities.

In Worcester County, one in 12 people doesn’t have enough healthy food to eat and about one in four kids go to bed hungry. While every donation makes a difference to food pantry organizations and the people they serve, it’s the nutritious yet expensive fresh foods that are among the most requested and often in short supply.
Last December, Welch and the Haulin’ 4 Hunger team of employees and business partners led caravans of trucks and cars to make its annual donation of fresh holiday meals throughout Worcester and nearby communities, hand-delivering over 4,000 turkeys with all the trimmings to Abby’s House, Boys & Girls Club of Worcester, Friendly House, Jeremiah’s Inn and Food Pantry, Marlborough Community Cupboard, South Worcester Neighborhood Center, St. Anne’s Human Services and Veterans, Inc.
Welch said that helping with the Haulin’ 4 Hunger deliveries of fresh meals is something he looks forward to every year. "What Haulin’ 4 Hunger does is more than just charity. It’s about engaging with others who are in need of our help, and doing good in our community. Serving others is at the core of Haulin’ 4 Hunger, and UniBank is honored to partner with ATG in this effort.”
