Bay State Bank

As the school year comes to a close, we love that we get to celebrate the Worcester Public Schools graduating students who received the Bay State Bank Scholarship Award. Your hard work, determination, and commitment to your future are truly inspiring.

We love that we get to support the next generation of leaders and celebrate all that you’ve accomplished. Wishing you continued success in all that’s ahead.

It was meaningful last week to celebrate 11 years of Cafe Reyes, a space that has become so much more than a café for the Worcester community. Through Cafe Reyes and Hector Reyes House, lives are being changed by creating opportunities, fostering connections, and supporting individuals on their path forward.

Thank you to Dr. Matilde (Mattie) Castiel and her family for continuing to bring Hector’s vision to life and for the lasting impact you are making every day.

At Bay State Bank, we believe in the people and organizations strengthening our community...and the work happening here is a powerful example of that in action.

The energy at this year’s Woostapreneurs Forum at Holy Cross was all about people…innovators sharing their stories, entrepreneurs building something from the ground up, and local business leaders showing what’s possible right here in Greater Worcester.

From seasoned founders to those just getting started, the room was filled with ideas, collaboration, and a shared drive to grow and strengthen our community. Events like this remind us that behind every business is a person with a vision, and we are grateful to be part of the network ready to support it.

Finally, we would like to spotlight Pernet Family Health Service.

For 70 years, Pernet has been a trusted part of the Greater Worcester community, serving more than 12,500 people across the region. Inspired by the mission of the Little Sisters of the Assumption, Pernet began with a commitment to supporting families living in poverty and continues that work today through quality childcare, early intervention, and maternal and child nursing care.

We believe in organizations like Pernet that make Greater Worcester stronger every day.
