AUGUST 19, 2021 Eastern Bank supports Essex County Community Foundation By Sam minton As the country begins to see an increase in COVID-19 cases, Eastern Bank is doing its part to ensure that everyone has access to vaccination. The Eastern Bank Foundation announced that it will be giving $2 million to COVID-19 relief to increase “last-mile” vaccination outreach and access. “Vaccination rates, while progressing, also highlight the inequities experienced in communities of color within Gateway Cities of Massachusetts and New Hampshire,” the foundation said in a statement. The foundation is collaborating with community health centers, foundations and other companies and organizations to address health care disparities and reach populations living in cities with the highest incidence of COVID-19 cases in order to get them access to the vaccine. “With Eastern Bank Foundation’s grant, we are able to expand our efforts to vaccine equity for populations who have been hardest hit by the pandemic,” said Beth Francis, president and CEO of Essex County Community Foundation. “We’re committed to getting underserved communities vaccinated and offering the crucial support needed at this time, and hiring local residents and working with our community health centers and experienced marketing and media partners like Archipelago Strategies WEEKLYNEWS.NET - 978-532-5880 13 Group and El Mundo to get this done in the most meaningful and trusting way possible.” In 2020, the Eastern Bank Foundation supported COVID-19 efforts with donations to 665 community-based organizations totaling more than $13 million. The foundation’s efforts aimed to help individuals such as immigrants, the elderly, victims of domestic violence and those seeking mental-health services; and collectives such as community health centers, food banks and pantries, multi-service providers and community foundations, early childhood development providers, safe and affordable housing providers and organizations assisting businesses of color.
