Giving Tuesday: Giving Back to our Community

November 27, 2023

Tuesday, November 28th is Giving Tuesday, a day to find ways to give back to your community in whatever ways you can, whether it’s bringing a smile to a neighbor’s face, or sharing some of your resources with an organization close to your heart. This Thanksgiving we’d like to remind you to consider what ways you may be able to give back to your community in this giving season.

Throughout the year, MBK finds ways to give back to our community with our financial expertise, time, and monetary donations. Over the past year we have created new connections to not-for-profit organizations and continued our support of many others. Please consider supporting some of the many causes and organizations we hold dear.

Friday Charities

Taking time our for our community

Over the past year we have continued some established connections and joined with some new friends from an inaugural Winter Walk in Western Massachusetts to raise awareness and funds for the homeless to a supply drive for local students starting a new school year. Below you can find links to support some of the various organizations we supported with supplies and volunteer hours.

Sponsorships and more

In addition to the many activities, drives, and fundraising Fridays our staff participates in, MBK has also supported over 75 organizations through sponsorship over the past year.

We succeed when our community succeeds. We are committed to giving back to the communities we are so fortunate to be a part of and this giving season, we hope you'll find a way to give some of your own resources back in whatever ways you can!
