MBK Works to "Stuff the Bus" with United Way of Pioneer Valley

The United Way of Pioneer Valley works annually with local partners to collect donations to provide backpacks and school supplies to students who are homeless  in our region.


For the 2021/2022 school year, the organization anticipates donating around 1400 backpacks to students in Hampden county.  Team Leaders Matt Nash, Eric Pinsoneault and Chelsea Russell led the charge by  organizing a supply drive to collect school supplies from the United Way's list. The team at MBK donated 5 boxes filled with school supplies including folders, notebooks, crayons, glue sticks, pencils, pens, erasers, pencil sharpeners, rulers, pencil boxes and cases, 3 ring binders, loose leaf paper, composition books, highlighters, index cards and post-it-notes. Team MBK is grateful to give back to the community and wishes all of the students a wonderful school year.


The United Way is still accepting donations of school supplies for the backpacks, and they can be provided at these locations:

When making transfers of business interests or other assets to family members, there’s a three-year period where the IRS can challenge their values for gift tax purposes. During that time, the tax agency can claim the transfers originally treated as nongifts were actually gifts or partial gifts.
