Volunteer SouthCoast for Companies
Volunteerism is more important than ever for companies trying to reach their corporate social responsibility goals. Through Volunteer SouthCoast, we can create a user group specific to your company to track your impact. We can also create a custom page for your team to easily find volunteer opportunities in the areas you care most about. We can provide reports on activity and impact on a monthly or annual basis.
Thank you for attending Power of the Purse! We hope you enjoy these incredible discounts from our 2025 E-Swag Partners! Be sure to tell them how much you appreciate their support of Power of the Purse and Women United.
Since launching in 2018, Women United has collaborated with our Women United leaders, community organizations, business owners, and volunteers to support women and children in Greater New Bedford. Through unique initiatives like Wash & Read, Lantern, and Baby Bundles, we connect directly to families. Women United expanded its work to include Financial Wellness for Women. By investing in financial education, we are increasing financial stability and economic self-sufficiency through increased knowledge, skills and confidence around money management.
