On February 8, 2023, approximately 40 BOMA Baltimore members gathered to “Share the Love” at a Valentine’s Day themed event benefitting Moveable Feast, an organization that serves Marylanders experiencing food insecurity and chronic illness. Our previous food preparation event has now changed to an event where BOMA Baltimore members contribute much needed toiletry products, cleaning supplies, and shelf-stable food items. Members decorated and assembled over 180 toiletry bags for the needy.

BOMA/Boston holds an annual Benefit evening for a local non-profit, this year to support Bridge Over Troubled Waters. Bridge provides career, education, and mental health counseling; temporary residences; medical care; and so much more to homeless and at-risk teens and young adults in Boston. Our fundraiser event was set to be on March 25, but was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite the cancellation of the party, we invited our sponsors to donate their funds directly to Bridge. We asked individuals to make small donations, and we sold raffle tickets online, all before the March 25 deadline. We encouraged people to "raise a toast" on social media and support the cause. Our BOMA Boston community came together, metaphorically, to raise a total of $45,000. We will be virtually presenting this check to Bridge's leadership on June 18. Thank you to our wonderful BOMA community for your generosity and thank you to Bridge for the crucial work you do for the youth of our city.

We are thankful to all of you who came out and we notice and appreciate those who continue to support the #mission to serve the Fort Worth community.

The BOMA FW Community Service Committee (CSC) with the assistance of the BOMA FW membership, donates a new backpack filled with a new coat, new pair of shoes, a blanket, and a new toy to the over 150 children at Center for Transforming Lives (CFTL). Our goal is to bring a little warmth and a smile to the children of Center for Transforming Lives. We ask members to donate a new coat (Newborn to 5T) starting in October through November. If members are unable to purchase a coat, we collect cash and credit card payments at our monthly luncheons and on our website. Other member companies donate the shoes, backpacks, blankets, and toys. The CSC then wraps all the toys and stuffs the backpacks with the items collected. We schedule a time with each of the three locations we serve (Rosie K. Mauk, Polytechnic, Lancaster) and have Santa Claus deliver the items to each child. CFTL provides high-quality, year-round early childhood education at four childcare centers and four partner centers throughout Tarrant County.

BOMA/Indianapolis members came together clean up an area which is one of 212 parks in the city of Indianapolis. This particular park, named for abolitionist Frederick Douglass, is celebrating 100 years this year. Members donated mulch, paint and time to clean up the playgrounds, painting park benches and even paint stripes on the parking lot. The lot had been waiting on stripes for over a year. The gorgeous day was the perfect setting for members to network while keeping social distanced. Members enjoyed boxed lunches under the many shade trees at the end of the event. Indy Parks is one of several causes BOMA Indianapolis supports. Watch for #BOMAIndyGives for more events in 2020.

Our BOMA/Indianapolis' Philanthropic Committee gathered to pack 100 hygiene bags for Outreach Indiana.

This included everything from soap to nail clippers. We look forward to having a larger group serving food at Outreach as soon as it's safe to do so again. Follow us @BOMAIndy or #BOMAIndyGives

Through the month of March, many BOMAOC members placed large donation bins on their properties and began collecting business and business casual articles of clothing. The result was over 20,000 donated items, filling gargantuan cardboard boxes. All that was left to do was to have someone go through each item and put them on hangars.

On April 8, various volunteers from BOMAOC’s Philanthropy committee gathered at Working Wardrobes. Donning masks, blue gloves, and a can-do attitude, they spent an entire afternoon hanging up clothes piece by piece. Countless shirts, blazers, dresses, shoes, and more were sorted, inspected, and hung up as planes landed at a nearby airport, occasionally drowning conversation. Indoors, an impressive amount of sorted business clothes stretched to the back of the building, along with several smartly dressed mannequins greeting front door visitors.

BOMAOC’s Working Wardrobes drives occur periodically and always sees tremendous turnout. Many thanks to everyone who donated and special thanks to the Philanthropy Committee for your hard work and dedication!

Since Our Brother's Place wasn't allowing indoor volunteers due to Covid, BOMA Phila had to think outside of the box as we wanted to be able to continue to support the homeless men with a hot meal. BOMA Phila partnered with a local food truck and brought their own kitchen to be able to prepare and serve over 100 meals.

As a result of the pandemic we were not able to have our annual holiday event which includes a toy drive for the Marine's Toys for Tots. However, in the tradition of the BOMA Phila spirit of generosity and kindness, the Community Involvement & Associate Member Committees joined forces and developed a safe, creative and effective way for all of us to give back…the 2020 BOMA PHILADELPHIA VIRTUAL GIVING TREE! Our members were able to support & assist the families of employees of BOMA Member companies who have faced hardships in 2020, as well as families in need from Helen’s Angels and The Unforgotten Haven. Toys and gifts were given to over 60 children.

The BOMA/Philadelphia Community Involvement and Suburban Committees joined forces to collect nearly 2,000 new and gently used books for Cradles to Crayons, an organization with a mission to end childhood poverty and provide kids with everyday essentials. Several member properties and associate member partners participated throughout the city and surrounding counties, with committee members working together to pick up and drop off the books. Since the onset of COVID-19, donations to Cradles to Crayons have dropped significantly, and even needed to be halted at one point. BOMA's generous donation came when the charity needed it most!

February 28, 2020

For more than fifteen years, BOMA/Philadelphia members have gathered on the last Saturday of every month to serve the needs of Center City Philadelphia’s homeless population in a big way. The BOMA Community Involvement Committee regularly purchases, prepares and serves breakfast and lunch at Our Brother’s Place, an emergency shelter providing a safe environment and supportive services for homeless men. From the grocery shopping, to menu planning, to slicing, dicing, grilling & mixing – BOMA Philly does it all! In fact, the BOMA volunteer days have become well-known among Our Brothers Place residents & attendees. It’s no wonder, with legendary menu items like French toast sticks, fluffy scrambled eggs, freshly-made hoagies, meatball subs, warm chocolate chip cookies and more!

While this is a wonderful way to share with those less fortunate, it also serves as a bonding networking experience for members. Furthermore, it impacts our member properties in the Center City corridor, as BOMA is significantly contributing to important services designed to remove sidewalk behavior and homeless activity from the areas around commercial buildings.

As BOMA/San Diego strongly and steadily moved through the pandemic, we recognized a growing need in our community. Many families in San Diego were going to bed hungry. We wanted to do our part to help and host a virtual food drive in partnership with the San Diego Food Bank. Our starting goal was $1,000—but we surpassed this and reached $3,400! Through the support of our members, we helped put food on people’s plates. Pets are part of families too, and members were given the chance to submit a donation specifically for pets.

The SABOMA Community Service Committee held a back to school supplies drive to benefit St. PJ's Children's Home. They received over 62 backpacks filled with school supplies and miscellaneous snacks and much needed undergarments for the kids. The children benefitting from this project are in crisis as they arrive on site most of the time with only the clothes they are wearing and are a product of abuse or neglect. The supplies enable the kids to have what they need help with a sense of normalcy in an otherwise scary time for them. The CSC loves our partnership with St. PJ's Children's Home!
