Thank You for Supporting Our 2025 Annual Campaign
On behalf of the New Bedford Port Society, thank you to everyone who contributed to our 2025 Annual Campaign. Your generosity plays a vital role in preserving the Seamen’s Bethel and the Mariners’ Home while supporting the programs, events, and educational experiences that bring New Bedford’s maritime heritage to life.
Because of you, these historic spaces remain welcoming places of reflection, storytelling, and community connection. Your support helps ensure that the legacy of the city’s working waterfront continues to be honored and shared with future generations.
We are deeply grateful for your belief in our mission and for helping us carry this important work forward.
