Thru the Lens: Hobbs Brook Management provided meals to Waltham YMCA’s MLK Day of Service

Waltham, MA Hobbs Brook Management LLC partnered with the Waltham YMCA for the annual MLK Day of Service, a commemoration of Martin Luther King, Jr.’s legacy of service. Hobbs Brook Management donated 150 boxed lunches and bottled waters to the January 16 event held at the Waltham YMCA, located at 725 Lexington St.

The Waltham YMCA, with help from the Lexington MLK Day of Service volunteers, welcomed guests from local transitional homeless shelters for a full day of fun activities including sports and games, swimming, rock climbing, Zumba, story-time, and arts and crafts. The fourth annual event also provided guests with access to a complimentary clothing boutique and a healthy lunch.

“It is incredibly rewarding to see our community come together to provide needy families with a day of fun, warm clothing, and healthy food,” said Bobby Kleinau, executive director at the Waltham YMCA. “We gratefully acknowledge that Hobbs Brook Management’s generous donation towards this day of celebration was so very impactful and appreciated. To watch children dance around with a bright green box while screaming, ‘there’s cookies in here too!’ was just amazing and would not have happened without the generosity of Hobbs Brook.”

Because the most valuable thing they develop is a relationship, Hobbs Brook Management focuses its efforts on satisfying the individual needs of customers that lease within their parks. A service-oriented provider of Class A business solutions to companies large and small, Hobbs Brook builds sustainably, maintains an on-site facilities management staff, and develops or renovates projects for energy efficiency, LEED certification, and the preservation of the local environment. With portfolios in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Georgia and Illinois, Hobbs Brook offers competitive amenities, on-site catering and dining facilities, fitness centers, and a full-service conference center available to tenants and the public.
