MCB is thrilled to share that, through our participation in Operation Backpack—a mission dedicated to equipping children in NYC homeless shelters with new backpacks and grade-specific school supplies—we have successfully partnered with Volunteers of America-Greater New York. Thanks to the generous donations and dedication of our incredible MCB team, we filled and distributed 50 backpacks, giving these children a fantastic start to their school year.
