MBK held a toy drive to support the HCS HeadStart's (HCS) Christmas Campaign. HCS is a multi-service agency that provides education services and support for low-income and at-risk families in Western Massachusetts.

As part of their campaign, MBK ‘adopted’ two families of four and fulfilled their Christmas wish lists. Led by team leader, Olivia Calcasola, team members at MBK donated gifts for all family members and raised over $500. All together, the team was able to provide each family with gifts for both the children and their parents. The children received multiple toys, clothing, and shoes, while families were also given household items and a $125 Walmart gift card each to purchase items of their choosing.

Olivia and Katrina delivered the donations and met with HCS’s Family and Community Engagement Coordinator, Terri who expressed her gratitude for the firm’s generosity. We want to thank everyone who participated and helped to make this holiday season a little brighter for families in need.
