The BayCoast family believes that helping our local community is the right thing to do. As we continue to support our neighbors, BayCoast Insurance, a wholly owned subsidiary of BayCoast Bank and one of Southern New England’s leading independent insurance agencies, has made an important donation to First Step Inn in Fall River, Massachusetts.
In early 2023, as part of the Arbella Insurance Foundation’s Let’s Drive Out Hunger annual campaign, BayCoast Insurance was proud to make a donation of $1,000 to First Step Inn. The Arbella Foundation complimented this contribution with an additional $1,500, bringing the total donation to $2,500.
First Step Inn provides safe shelter, nutritious meals, employment assistance, as well as primary and behavioral healthcare for the city’s homeless. As an organization dedicated to improving an individual’s quality of life, First Step Inn also offers services that help those in need to secure permanent housing.
“As our community continues to navigate an uncertain economy, this financial assistance is more important than ever,” said Patrick Long, President and CEO of BayCoast Insurance. “We are committed to helping individuals and families within the communities we serve. Our support of the First Step Inn and it’s mission of providing comprehensive programs and support services will enhance well-being and promote independence.”
