Bristol County Savings Bank recently organized its annual BCSB CARES: Employee Volunteer Day, closing its offices to allow over 300 employees to volunteer at 18 locations across Massachusetts and Rhode Island. This initiative, now in its fifth year, is part
of the bank's commitment to community service. Employees from the bank, along with staff from its affiliates Bristol Wealth Group and Milestone Mortgage Solutions, participated in various activities supporting local nonprofit organizations. The volunteer efforts included tasks such as weeding, raking, and mulching at the City of Taunton’s Weir Waterfront Park. Other organizations that benefited from the volunteer day included the Boys & Girls Club of Pawtucket, Old Colony Habitat for Humanity, and Care New England, among others.
