Dime Community Bank presented
a family-owned Kings Highway bagel
shop with a check for $5,000 on Nov. 16
as part of its small business recovery
grant program.
The grant program, which Dime
leaders say serves as a “community
chest,” has so far bestowed 60 grants totaling
$300,000. The grants — awarded
in partnership with the Federal Home
Loan Bank of New York — benefi t local
businesses and nonprofi t organizations
throughout the fi ve boroughs
and on Long Island.
Southern Brooklyn’s Highway Bagel
joined the ranks this week when
Dime offi cials stopped by the eatery to
award shop owners Alberto Pernicone
and Luigi Curto with the grant.
““As part of our continued efforts to
help local businesses weather the economic
storm caused by this pandemic,
this grant will make it possible for
Highway Bagels to promote their business
and keep it running,” said Richard
Dodson, fi rst vice president and
regional director of retail banking at
Dime Bank.
Dodson added that Pernicone and
Curto, in business for 24 years, have
been a customer of Dime since 2000.
Like countless other businesses
across the fi ve boroughs, Highway Bagel
is struggling to stay afl oat amid
the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
But, thanks to grants like Dime’s, they
can continue to serve their longtime
customers — and the entire southern
Brooklyn community.
Also on hand from Dime for the
check presentation were Patricia
Strong, vice president and CRA offi -
cer, and Eugene Kanevsky, assistant
vice president and branch manager of
the bank’s Kings Highway branch.
Highway Bagel is located at 1923
Kings Highway.
