A special thanks to our Seacoast Local Business Member, Piscataqua Savings Bank!

Piscataqua Saving's Bank proudly donated $1,250 to this year's Seacoast Local H(EAT) Campaign  - with a special request that their funds be allocated to the fuel assistance program. With the heating season upon us, the bank recognizes the need to support those struggling to heat their homes. As Portsmouth's Local Bank, Piscataqua Savings is an avid supporter of Seacoast Local and it's mission to showcase the important role that local independent businesses play in providing charitable support in our community, year-round. Next year, Piscataqua Savings Bank will celebrate its 135th year as a cornerstone in the Portsmouth community, and we thank them for their dedication to help maintain a robust local economy.

"This campaign is a chance for us to remind the public of the very important work that Seacoast Local does. It's going to be a very cold winter with less government assistance than last year. People are going to need lots of help." - Read More:
