“The First County Bank Foundation is honored to make these grants available to a number of important causes in the Stamford area,” said Rey Giallongo, president of the foundation and chairman and CEO of First County Bank, in a statement. “On behalf of the bank’s employees and customers, I want to personally thank these organizations and the people who work with them for helping Fairfield County citizens.
