Annual “Wintersgiving” Drive

B. Berkes GBFG

On behalf of Armstrong, we extend a sincere thank you to our amazing employees and community members who generously donated winter clothing items and non-perishable food items during our fourth annual winter drive. Thanks to everyone’s giving spirit and combined efforts we were able to donate an abundance of coats, sweaters, pants, hats, socks, gloves and boots to Bay Cove Human Services. We also donated numerous boxes of healthy food to The Greater Boston Food Bank which will be distributed to families in need across Eastern Massachusetts.

After collecting items for over a month, Armstrong organized a special transport and delivery to Bay Cove Human Services and The Greater Boston Food Bank to drop off all the donations. Both organizations were so appreciative of this years turnout and are looking forward to our continued partnership in the years to come.

Thank you to all who helped make the drive so successful!
