TMB Charitable Support – Winter 2021
TMB has a valued tradition of helping those in need during the holiday season. Over the past several years, TMB and our staff has generously given to a coat drive to benefit Bedington Elementary School in Martinsburg, West Virginia, where 63% of students qualify for free or reduced meals. In lieu of a coat drive, this year TMB sponsored several students with a monetary donation that was used to purchase gifts for Christmas. Our continued thanks to Walt Griffin for leading this effort!
Additionally, we once again decided to support Toys for Tots, a charitable organization founded in 1947 by the United States Marine Corps (USMC). Together with their community partners, they staged toy collection bins at various locations to collect toys for disadvantaged children and families. Due to the pandemic, we were unable to accommodate an in-person toy drive, so TMB donated online and encouraged our employees to do the same if they were able.
TMB is currently in the process of finalizing our expanded Charitable Giving Program for 2021. We plan on continuing our support to Bedington Elementary and Toys for Tots, while adding further support of Van Ness Elementary School (a local DC Public School) and beginning a partnership with a national non-profit supporting US Veterans. We look forward to continuing to give back to our community and supporting our Veterans!
