Cape & Coast Bank Celebrates the Holidays with a Month of Charitable Giving
Cape & Coast Bank, formerly The Cooperative Bank of Cape Cod, continues to celebrate the holiday season with a month of charitable acts to support organizations that care for Cape Codders of all ages.
On Giving Tuesday 2025, Cape & Coast Bank continued an 11-year tradition, by providing $15,000 in financial support to food assistance organizations across Cape Cod.
The bank’s decade-long tradition of providing food security assistance on Giving Tuesday, which began in 2014 as a “restock the shelves campaign,” was expanded in 2024 and once again included food distribution organizations in all 15 towns in Barnstable County.
Food assistance organizations that received $1,000 donations include:
- Bourne: Friends Food Pantry
- Falmouth: Falmouth Service Center
- Mashpee: Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe Food Pantry
- Sandwich: Sandwich Food Pantry
- Yarmouth: Cape Wellness Collaborative
- Dennis: Meals on Wheels Elder Services of Cape Cod and the Islands
- Harwich: The Family Pantry of Cape Cod
- Truro: Truro Community Kitchen
- Provincetown: Soup Kitchen in Provincetown
The Lower Cape Outreach Council received a $5,000 donation to support its food pantries in Chatham, Brewster, Orleans, Eastham and Wellfleet, and in Barnstable, the Cape & Islands Veterans Outreach Center and Faith Family Kitchen each received $500.
In addition to Giving Tuesday, Cape & Coast Bank were pleased to participate in two outstanding community efforts focused on supporting the youth in our region during the holiday season.
For the Salvation Army’s ‘Dress a Live Doll’ program, the bank had the distinct privilege of supporting six children in our community by sponsoring their holiday wish lists. The bank was also honored to take part in the United States Marine’s Toys for Tots – Stuff a Bus initiative, bringing holiday joy and thoughtfully selected toys to kids in need. Cape & Coast Bank was able to provide over 100 toys for youth of all ages. “This time of year can be difficult for so many in our community, and Cape & Coast Bank is proud and humbled to support these incredible and hard-working organizations that support Cape Codders every day and make the Holiday Season brighter,” said Erik Porter, President and CEO of Cape & Coast Bank.
