The Gift of Giving

December 27, 2024

In the spirit of the holiday season, the team at MBK has gone above and beyond to bring joy and warmth to foster kids and children in the surrounding Western Mass area. This year, the team took the initiative to make a difference in their community by partnering with Kind Squad, Inc. The Kind Squad dispersed toys to foster kids and children through the MSPCC’s Kid’s Net Program, All Our Kids, and Clinical Support Options. Led by team leader Katrina Arona, team MBK came together to provide gifts of joy for children of all ages.


The last couple of weeks in the lobby there were two collection boxes wrapped in holiday gift wrap filled with toys for all ages. Toys ranged from art supplies, board games, sports equipment, to headphones, and LED light strips for the kids entering their teenage years. On Thursday December 19th, the toy donations were picked up by Allie from Clinical Support Options. She expressed her heartfelt gratitude for the firm's commitment to giving back to the community and highlighted how meaningful these donations are for the children and families they support. We want to thank everyone who participated in the drive and helped to make it a joyful holiday season for children and kids in need. With the help of the community and other organizations, the Kind Squad was able to donate to 1,857 kids and children this season.

Tax Tip: If you have a tax-deferred retirement plan, you probably know they’re designed to encourage you to grow your savings by leaving your money in the account. Therefore, withdrawals before age 59 ½ generally trigger a 10% penalty. But suppose you need to access your funds.
