HOLYOKE, Mass. (June 23, 2026)– For the fourth year, Meyers Brothers Kalicka, P.C. (MBK) partnered with A Bed for Every Child, based out of Lynn, MA. Unlike previous years, this year was special; People’s Bank (PB) joined the initiative and co-hosted the event with MBK.
Spearheaded by Chelsea Russell (MBK) and Thomas Borek (PB), the businesses were paired together for a collaborative build and networking event. Collectively as a group, the two businesses pledged to build 20 beds for children in Western Massachusetts. Throughout the event, teams worked side by side building beds from scratch, which encouraged communication, creativity, and problem-solving, while also providing opportunities to learn more about one another’s businesses and services.
“So many children go without beds, and having the ability to build and provide a child with a bed is giving them a place to dream,” said Russell. “By participating together, MBK and People’s Bank combined their efforts to build beds for local families.”
Borek states, “It’s always rewarding to partner with another business that shares the same commitment to giving back. Seeing our teams work side by side is a great reminder of what can happen when businesses come together to support our community and the real impact it can have on the families that live here in it.”
The event proved to be successful and highlighted the impact that collaboration can have on children in need.
