The Bristol County Savings Charitable Foundation marked its 25 Year Anniversary with a $25,000 grant to the Fall River Fire Department. The donation, which the department will use to purchase additional Jaws of Life equipment, is part of $325,000 in grants awarded to fire departments in 13 communities throughout Southeastern Massachusetts and Northern Rhode Island where Bristol County Savings Bank has branch locations.
“For the past 25 years, our Foundation has been supporting the neighborhoods where our customers live and work. This grant is our way of celebrating that accomplishment and thanking the brave men and women of the Fall River Fire Department who consistently put themselves at risk on our community’s behalf,” said Patrick Murray, President of the Foundation and President & CEO of Bristol County Savings Bank.
