Giving back to the community, while empowering our team to help make a difference by initiating and leading various programs and events, has lead to many wonderful learning experiences. Coupled with our various outreach programs is Mide's commitment to the environment, which is why Mide has invested in recycling initiatives to help contribute to creating a greener planet. *David Manion - Chairperson of Mide's Community Outreach *  --- ## Covid-19 Face Shield Fabrication & Donation Program Midé volunteers initiated and partnered with Plastic Design Inc., Polar Seltzer, and A-Flex to produce and donate 150+ face shields for our local first responders including Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Children’s Hospital Boston, and Woburn"s Fire and Police Departments. *[Find Out More...](https://www.mide.com/covid-19-face-shield-support?hsLang=en-us)* ![Covid-19 Face Shield Fabrication & Donation](https://www.mide.com/hubfs/community-outreach/mide-covid-19-faceshield-donation-program.jpg) --- ![McGlynn Middle School Program](https://www.mide.com/hubfs/community-outreach/mide-mcglynn-middle-school.jpg) ## McGlynn Middle School Program One of our flagship Outreach Programs is our partnership with the McGlynn Middle School in Medford, MA.

Generously supported by her colleagues, Liz enabled the collection and packing of many food baskets to help brighten Thanksgiving for many families. *[Thank you](https://www.gbfb.org/tag/thanksgiving/)* ![Thanksgiving Food Drive](https://www.mide.com/hubfs/community-outreach/mide-thanksgiving-food-drive.jpg) --- ![coats for kids and families](https://www.mide.com/hubfs/community-outreach/mide-coats-for-kids-and-families2.jpg) ## Coats for Kids and Families In these hard economic times, there are thousands of individuals in our very own community that are without a warm winter coat. Margie Martignetti has been running this program at Mide for several years now, and Mide's employees have always stepped up to the plate to support this wonderful initiative. *[Coats for Kids & Families](https://antons.com/cfk/)* --- ## Greater Boston Food Bank The Greater Boston Food Bank plays a critical role in helping to end hunger in Eastern Massachusetts, which is why Pete Scheidler helped make a difference for those in need by organizing volunteers to spend an afternoon at this food-packing event. *[Greater Boston Food Bank](https://www.gbfb.org/)* ![](https://www.mide.com/hubfs/community-outreach/mide-boston-food-bank.jpg) --- ![pulling for hope](https://www.mide.com/hubfs/community-outreach/mide-pulling-for-hope.jpg) ## Pulling for Hope Cancer hits far too close to home, so supporting the American Cancer Society was an easy choice. In this fund-raising event, teams compete to see who can pull a fire engine 50 feet the fastest. The money raised through this event helps to provide services and resources like free rides to chemo, free places to stay near hospitals, and a live 24/7 helpline for cancer patients and their families. *[American Cancer Society](https://www.cancer.org/)* --- ## Lifebridge Charity Bake Off Lifebridge has been working to meet the most urgent needs of the homeless and under-housed on the North Shore of Massachusetts for over 30 years. Caroline Coburn initiated and organized our first community outreach effort with a wonderfully delicious Charity Bake-Off to raise money and awareness to support Lifebridge *[Lifebridge Northshore](https://lifebridgenorthshore.org/)* ![Charity Bake Off](https://www.mide.com/hubfs/community-outreach/mide-cake-bake-off.jpg) --- ## Committing to a Greener Planet Contributing to a better future for our community and planet is of paramount importance.
