The M&B Cares Committee brought the heat into the office by facilitating a Moss & Barnett Chili Cookoff & Fundraiser to benefit children and families in the Twin Cities metro area through the organization My Very Own Bed.

My Very Own Bed works with local referral partners to provide a new bed, sheets, blanket, pillow, mattress pad, stuffed animal, and a story book to children who are moving from shelters into permanent homes that might otherwise need to share a bed or sleep on the floor. M&B’s chili chefs and chili enthusiasts were proud to be able to provide the funding for a new bed and multiple Dream Kits to be given to local kids; knowing that restful sleep helps to improve health and provide the basis for improved wellbeing.
