DEDHAM, WESTWOOD, Mass. – Leading anti-hunger nonprofit Project Bread recently recognized Dedham Savings Bank for their commitment and dedication to the Interfaith Mini-Walk for Hunger, which is a Project Bread fundraising and awareness event hosted by Temple Beth David of Westwood.

The event was an opportunity for Project Bread to not only celebrate Dedham Savings Bank as a reliable supporter, but also tp recognize Westwood residents Lou and Connie Rizoli and the Westwood-based Interfaith Mini Walk for Hunger planning committee for championing the work of Project Bread for the past 15 years.
