An amazing thing happens when you give to the community.

It gives back.

At M&T Bank, we know how important it is to support those organizations that make our communities better places to live, work and grow. That’s why we offer both our time and resources. What we all get in return is far more valuable.

We are proud to support

For 50 years, Patterson-Schwartz Real Estate has been dedicated to The Home – Yours and Ours …We realized a long time ago that a home is more than just a structure — and its value comes as much from the surrounding community as from its ‘bricks and mortar’. That’s why we invest so much into our community ...

Patterson-Schwartz is proud to partner with Children & Families First. It’s organizations like these that make the community — OUR community — a better place to call home.

A Taste for Art

Thank you for over 125 years of strengthening Delaware families!

Emalea Pusey Warner, Friends School Class of 1870, and her husband Alfred, Friends Class of 1860, were founders of Associated Charities.

Its mission was, “to help others help themselves.”

Associated Charities became the Family Society, Family Service of Northern Delaware, Family Service Delaware, and finally, Children & Families First.

Friends School continues to inspire students to act, as our mission statement says, “with a conscious responsibility to the good of all.”

Best wishes from our family to yours.
