Keeping a Local Business Flying

Quote: "We make 'great partners for life.'" President and Founder, Angel Flight NE

When local medical air transportation company Angel Flight Northeast—the only charitable organization of its kind operating during the pandemic—needed to secure a PPP loan, Reading Cooperative Bank in Massachusetts was there. With the funding, the company was able to continue filling this critical healthcare need in the community. This support from the bank marked 24 years and counting of dedicated customer service. “I deeply believe in the life saving and pivotal business role that community banks play in people’s lives,” says the company’s founder and president.
