The United Regional Chamber of Commerce is pleased to announce our 2017 Business of the Year is Bristol County Savings Bank
Bristol County Savings Bank is a community mutual bank based in Taunton, Massachusetts.?? Their employees exemplify the meaning of ???community???.?? In all the years that I have been dealing with them on a professional level they have been respectful and attentive to their customer???s needs.
Their employees are involved in many volunteer endeavors.?? Whether it is sprucing up communities such as Pawtucket Proud Day, helping to build houses for Old Colony Habitat for Humanity Attleboro or serving on Boards such as the Friends of Capron Park Zoo, Friends of Attleboro Public Library, or the United Way of Greater Fall River, their presence is felt in the communities they serve.??
The fundraising arm of the bank, Bristol County Savings Bank Charitable Foundation has awarded over $18 million dollars since its inception over 20 years ago.?? Many non-profits in the area have benefitted greatly from grants which have been awarded to their organizations.?? An example of just some of them are Our Daily Bread Soup Kitchen, the Children???s Museum of Fall River???s Pre-K ???Education Station???, the Hockomock Area YMCA, UMASS Law School???s program Justice Bridge in New Bedford, Southcoast Health and Sturdy Memorial Hospital.
The Foundation also offers seminars to help non-profits achieve their goals by educating them with programs taught by high caliber professionals.?? They recently were named to the 2017 list of top Charitable Contributors in Massachusetts by the Boston Business Journal.
Evan though the Attleboro titans of the jewelry industry are either no longer with us or moved out of state, I truly believe Bristol County Savings Bank has stepped up to fill the void.?? Their community outreach is heartfelt.?? They do it because they want to do it, not because they have to do it.
The United Regional Chamber will be awarding Bristol County Savings Bank the Business of the Year at our Annual Meeting on January 30th at Plainridge Park Casino.
