MBK Links Up with Full Gospel Church to Send Supplies to the Ukraine
As you know, the war that has escalated on Ukraine has affected many people in unimaginable ways. Senior Associate, Mila Renkas who has several family members and friends who are directly impacted, helped MBK to organize a drive to donate goods and money. She asked that we share that the support of everyone has meant so much to her. Checking in and being willing to help in any way possible has helped her to get through this and she appreciates it very much.
The team at MBK collected enough supplies to fill three trucks with clothing, food supplies, and medical supplies. We also want to thank a few of our clients who noticed the pile of goods in our lobby and returned after their tax appointments to drop off contributions.
Additionally, $665 was collected and donated to help the organization offset the cost to ship goods. It's important that these organizations have funds to ship supplies via air so that items can be received quickly, as normal shipping methods can take up to 6 weeks to make its way to the country.
If you would like to donate. items can be dropped off at Full Gospel Church located at 110 Union Street in Westfield. You can also donate funds directly through their website: https://www.fullgospelchurch.org/
