The entire staff at Bristol County Savings Bank (BCSB) donated their time and talents to area nonprofits during its fifth annual BCSB CARES: Employee Volunteer Day. The bank closed all its offices, and more than 300 employees, along with its affiliates, Bristol Wealth Group and Milestone Mortgage Solutions, spent the afternoon giving back at 18 different sites across southeastern Massachusetts and Rhode Island.
“As a community bank, putting people first is at the heart of everything we do, and BCSB CARES Day is a meaningful reflection of that commitment,” said John Silva, president and CEO of Bristol County Savings Bank. “Seeing our employees come together in support of vital non-profit organizations is a powerful reminder of what can be accomplished when we invest in the communities where we live and work. I’m proud of our team’s dedication to service and grateful to our community partners for the important work they do every day and for welcoming us to be part of it.”
