Since the beginning of May, Allstate employees, agents and their families have donated hundreds of hours of volunteer time to help Coastal Habitat partner homeowners restore and rebuild post-Superstorm Sandy. Thanks to the Allstate Foundation’s dedication to corporate social responsibility, ten families’ homes and lives will be repaired.

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."
