FRAMINGHAM – Mark Haranas, MutualOne Bank CEO and MutualOne Charitable Foundation chairman, announced that the Foundation has awarded $5,000 to the Massachusetts Association for the Blind and Visually Impaired (MABVI), a division of MAB Community Services, to support their assistive technology training center located at the Natick Community/Senior Center.

“This grant will help address the digital divide for older adults with disabilities,” said Haranas. “Learning to use technological tools will help seniors live more productive, healthier, and safer lives.”
