MBK Adopts 2 Families for the Holidays

December 22, 2022

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

As part of their campaign, MBK ‘adopted’ two families (families of 3 and 4) and fulfilled their Christmas wish lists. Led by team leader, Olivia Calcasola, employees at MBK donated toys and raised over $400. Altogether, the team was able to provide multiple toys for each child and donate a $75 gift card for each family.

Olivia and Chelsea delivered the donation and met with HeadStart’s CEO, Nicole 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.
