The YWCA has 60 families living in their congregate care facilities and for their community-based program they serve hundreds of women and children monthly who are survivors of sexual assault, domestic violence, human trafficking and stalking. The community based programs provide services such as therapy, group counseling, economic empowerment classes, help obtaining housing, supervised visitation, and so much more to families in Western Massachusetts.
The staff at MBK collected and donated supplies including toiletries, underwear for women and children, new socks, baby wipes, baby bottles, laundry detergent, toothbrushes, soaps to benefit the YWCA of Western Massachusetts. In addition to supplies, funds were collected to donate gift cards for families in temporary housing to use at the grocery store.
Team leaders Chelsea and Keara visited the YWCA in Springfield to deliver three fully packed bags of supplies and $385 of Big Y giftcards on behalf of the firm. Thank you to all who donated to this local cause!
The YWCA offers many ways to get and stay involved. You can learn more about how to donate time, money and/or supplies by visiting their website. https://www.ywworks.org
