USQ’s Holiday Give Delivers Results: $5,400 in donations and over 2,300 food & toiletry items provided to the Somerville Homeless Coalition

Dec 22

US2 hosted its first annual USQ Holiday Give Event in December 2021. In this collaboration of Union Square Businesses, $5,400 and 2,300 food and toiletry items were donated to the Somerville Homeless Coalition. Nine organizations participated by collecting donations over a two-week period. Many thanks are due to those who made it happen: @greentownlabs, @bow.market, @somernova, @somervillemediacenter, @somervillecommunity, Right Hand Robotics, @somervillecity, @gilbanebuilding, Cranshaw Construction.

This year’s winner, Gilbane Construction Company, donated the most items and received a $500 prize to @remnantbrewing, along with the “Union Square Fezziwig Award,” which recognizes those who embody the holiday spirit by generously giving to our neighbors in need.
