MSPCC was honored to once again receive a generous donation of toys from the MBTA and MassDOT’s annual “Fill-A-Bus with Gifts” program, which collects toys from both agencies’ employees for donation during the holiday season.

Melanie Lima, MSPCC’s Director of Development, noted, “Last year, MSPCC provided gifts to almost 1,000 children. The presents donated through the MBTA and MassDOT Fill-A-Bus program are far more than toys—they offer moments of joy, and help children feel valued and included. Because most MSPCC families live in poverty, parents often tell us they want to create a happy holiday for their children, but financial strain makes that difficult and stressful. The generosity of the Fill-A-Bus programs helps MSPCC ease some of that burden and ensure that hundreds of children experience a brighter, more joyful holiday season.”
