The Attic Youth Center Summer Donation Drive

As LGBTQ Pride Month drew to close, we also wound down our Attic Youth Center donation drive. Throughout the month of June MSS employees collected hygiene supplies and toiletries for the teenagers and young adults residing at The Attic, a nonprofit LGBTQ center. We also exercised our creative muscles in the spirit of solidarity by creating a beautiful rainbow canvas on which our co-workers could share messages of encouragement and positivity. By event’s end, we were able to deliver that canvas and a trove of goods to their downtown Philadelphia shelter.

The Attic does not receive any government assistance and operates solely off donations so our community’s continued support of their mission is critical. Thank you to our employees for their generosity!
