METAIRIE, La.—Dec. 22, 2021—This Christmas, M S Benbow & Associates (MSB) employees spread holiday cheer with charitable efforts benefiting local families from the Greater New Orleans community. Each year MSB employees contribute to philanthropic initiatives during the holidays, including an annual Toy Drive. This year, MSB employees partnered with United Way to collect toys specifically to support families impacted by Hurricane Ida.
“The holiday season is a reminder of how much we at MSB have to be thankful for this year. We strive to make a difference through initiatives that support families in need in our community,” said MSB President Leo L.
