Provident Bank recently held a turkey collection drive at its Madison Farms branch in Bethlehem, PA.  Bank employees collected more than 75 frozen turkeys for New Bethany Ministries, who will distribute them along with other frozen turkeys to over 400 families in the Lehigh Valley.  The collection efforts were made possible in part to Mesko Spotting Service, Inc. of Allentown, PA., who donated the use of a refrigerated truck.
