Happy New Year From CMA!

CMA sponsored a young family of four living in Palm Beach County, as part of the Adopt-A-Family program. Adopt-A-Family’s mission is to strengthen families with children in their efforts to achieve stability and self-sufficiency by providing access to all-encompassing services. Since 1983, Adopt-A-Family has grown into the largest service provider for homeless families in Palm Beach County — providing access to services for more than 2,000 families with children per year.

CMA continued our tradition of helping those in need this holiday season by participating in the Broward United Way Day of Caring event on December 18 at the BB&T Center in Sunrise. Our team included Jennifer Smith, P.E.; Johanna Zona; Megan Schmidt; Jazmin Cruz; Safiya Brea, P.E., LEED AP; Charmaine Emanuels, E.I.; and Rex Robinson. The team assisted in preparing oatmeal package meals. The event prepared over 300,000 food packages and boxed meals that will be delivered to local food banks and feeding pantries through United Way’s Project Lifeline program. The day’s event packaged over 300,000 meals! Thanks to the CMA Community Service Committee for coordinating the event!  For more information, please visit http://www.unitedwaybroward.org/
