BayCoast Bank Proudly Supports Our South Coast Community with Four Key Grants

SWANSEA, MA – BayCoast Bank, a long-time community savings bank with a reputation for excellence, is committed to enhancing the vitality of our South Coast neighborhoods by serving those around us. BayCoast recently provided four local nonprofit organizations with important grants to help improve the communities where we live and work.

Community Action for Better Housing (CABH): BayCoast is proud to offer support for the organization’s ongoing operations. CABH is dedicated to ensuring the availability of safe and affordable housing for vulnerable individuals and households in the Fall River and New Bedford areas. CABH provides safe, affordable housing to a broad cross-section of local populations, including very low-income families, unhoused individuals, people with special needs, veterans, and the elderly.

Discovery Language Academy:  BayCoast is offering support to the Academy for itsEnglish Language Program for Adult Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL). ESOL is a six-month program that runs as an in-person, classroom-based literacy education program for adult immigrants living in the Greater New Bedford area. This is the Academy’s seventh year running the program.

OneGoal:  OneGoal’s vision is that every student will have the equitable opportunity to achieve their greatest postsecondary aspirations. BayCoast is providing funding to support OneGoal’s programming, which provides students with transformative postsecondary advising to ensure they have the knowledge, tools, and support they need for success beyond high school.

Veterans Transition House:  BayCoast Bank’s grant supports the organization’s Meals Program for homeless veterans. Additionally, BayCoast’s grant will assist the Anthony C. and Salvatore H. Alfiero Outreach Center. Staffed by licensed clinicians and outreach, housing, healthcare, and employment specialists, the Center serves veterans in the community who are at risk of becoming homeless, experiencing food insecurity, and in need of human services.

“BayCoast believes in supporting organizations whose mission is to improve lives, expand educational opportunities, and bring people together,” said John McMahon, Senior Vice President, Community Engagement for BayCoast Bank. “Everyone deserves the opportunity to have an enriching life. BayCoast hopes to inspire future acts of kindness in our community by continuing to help our neighbors in need.”
