What is "GENSOC OF PBC"?

Gen at gensocofpbc.org is all about helping people stay connected through social and community activities. They offer services that include subscriptions for various events, programs, and billing for the memberships you join. If you notice a bill from them, it's likely for a subscription to one of their fun activities or events that you signed up for!

GENSOC: This refers to the name of the organization or company, which in this case stands for General Society. It's the entity involved in the transaction.
OF: This is simply a connecting word, indicating that the next part specifies something about the organization.
PBC: This likely stands for 'Public Benefit Corporation,' which indicates that the organization has a commitment to public benefit and social responsibility as part of its mission.
