Coastal States Bank (CSB) is proud to announce its support of the local non-profit organization Park Place Outreach Youth Emergency Shelter. The company recently made a contribution of $5000 towards the organization through their initiative, the “Coastal States Community Commitment.” 

The Coastal States Community Commitment was established with a mission to strengthen and enhance the communities served by Coastal States Bank and its subsidiaries and affiliates through grants and employee volunteerism programs which support a diverse range of charitable efforts addressing local community needs and opportunities.

“This program allows our bank to directly give back to organizations within our community that assist those who are in dire need,” said CSB Regional President Brian Smith. “We are proud to partner with an organization such as Park Place Outreach. They are making a significant difference in the lives of our community’s youth.” 

Serving Savannah since 1984, Park Place Outreach offers residential, prevention, outreach, and family preservation services for homeless, runaway, and at-risk youth, ages 11-21, through a variety of shelter and enrichment programs.  The organization has helped over 6500 youth find housing stability and family security.

“We are so grateful for Coastal States Bank’s support of the critical work we do to serve homeless, runaway, and at-risk teens in our community,” said Park Place Outreach Director Julie Wade. “In light of the international pandemic, non-profit funding is so uncertain, while the need for our services is greater than ever.  This donation will allow us to serve more youth and to serve them more completely.”
