The City of East Providence’s Community Development Director, David Bachrach, will be honored by East Bay Community Action Program (EBCAP) at its 18th Annual Seaside Gala on June 15 at Atlantic Resort Newport. Bachrach will receive EBCAP’s 2023 Public Service Award in recognition of his on-going commitment to supporting EBCAP’s community outreach programs and activities.
