MBK Delivers Board Games to MHA

Apr 02, 2020

The Mental Health Association has organized a board game drive for patients and staff to keep busy during social distancing. Individuals with a wide range of needs reside at the MHA group residence home. While MHA’s day and outreach programs have been suspended, staff and patients are in need of board games and activities to keep busy.

With most of MBK’s staff working from home, many donated money to make a Target Run. Senior Manager, Donna Roundy, collected the funds, purchased 16 board games and delivered them to MHA on behalf of the firm on Thursday, April 2nd. In addition, many MBK team members ordered online and had games shipped directly to MHA. Congratulations to the staff of MBK for your commitment to community!

This is a difficult time in the world. The more we come together to support one other, the better off we all will be. If you’d like to donate a board game to MHA (new or used), you can deliver your donation to 995 Worthington St. Springfield, MA or visit mhainc.org/donate to make a monetary donation.
