Bank of America Merrill Lynch recently donated $1000 to Talbot Partnership.  Talbot Partnership, which was founded in 1991 as a community coalition, encourages the community to recognize the problems and implement solutions related to alcohol, tobacco and other drug abuse by implementing policies, promoting early intervention programs and building a community culture that favors drug-free youth.

According to Semene Gilden, Vice President with Bank of America Merrill Lynch, “We are building strong, healthy neighborhoods where all of us can live, work and dream by investing in innovative programs designed to serve local community needs. Working in partnership with community leaders, Bank of America’s local market leadership directs the majority of our giving through local grants that address pressing social, economic, and cultural needs of communities across our global footprint.”
