FRAMINGHAM – Mark R. Haranas, president and CEO of MutualOne Bank and a MutualOne Charitable Foundation trustee, announced today, March 17, the foundation has awarded $5,000 to the Massachusetts Association for the Blind and Visually Impaired to support their assistive technology training services for older adults, offered in partnership with the Natick Community-Senior Center.
