MANASQUAN — Coastal Habitat for Humanity is getting a boost from local banks to help the organization meet its goal of rebuilding 100 Sandy-damaged homes by next spring.

"I'm fairly handy," joked James S. Vaccaro, president of Manasquan Savings Bank, who found himself in a different role Tuesday, hammering floor boards instead of managing bank accounts.

"Whether we're building banking relationships or houses, it's all our commitment to the community," Vaccaro said. "We're privileged to participate, it's part and parcel of who we are."
