Manasquan Bank Charitable Foundation Presents Grants

Manasquan Bank Charitable Foundation, an affiliate of Manasquan Bank, brought local organizations together for its second quarterly Charitable Foundation meeting of 2019.

The breakfast event was a chance for community members to learn more about Manasquan Bank’s philosophy for its future success and commitment to its community-based partners.

It was also an opportunity for each organization receiving a foundation grant to tell its story and explain how the new grant will assist in the achievement of their overall mission. The meeting was very collaborative, as participants had the opportunity to interact with James S. Vaccaro, President and CEO of the Bank, and ask questions about the Bank and its service model.

Manasquan Bank’s management team kicked off the morning’s event, where team members provided an overview of the business and cultural opportunities the bank and its Foundation hope to be able to impact during 2019.

To support the major initiatives of their non-profit and business partners, the bank plans to “provide the stimulus for growth through its lending, depository and community-based activities," according to Vaccaro.

Notably, at the breakfast event, those receiving an annual grant from the foundation included CFC Loud N Clear Foundation, Allaire Community Farm, Samaritan Center at the Jersey Shore, Monmouth Day Care Center, Inc., Turner Syndrome Foundation, Sunshine Girls Charities, Big Brothers Big Sisters, CASA Court Appointed Special Advocates of Monmouth County, YMCA of Metuchen, Edison, Woodbridge & South Amboy, Community Svcs of Ocean City; Meals on Wheels, Colton and Friends, a Foundation for Autism, Collier Youth Services, Yoga Peace Kula, Susan G.
