Throughout the year, MBW Company participates in a variety of activities in New Ulm, Minnesota which makes the agency renown for its "good neighbor" ethic. Below are the key activities in which MBW staff and consumers participated during 2011.
Bavarian Blast: Employees and clients initiated a garbage pick-up and recycling project for the Bavarian Blast Parade in July. This activity keeps the community clean while preserving the environment through recycling.
The United Way Day of Caring: Each October, employees and clients volunteer to assist individuals with fall tasks that they are no longer able to do themselves due to age or disability. After visiting one site, an individual MBW supports said, “Thanks for letting me help with this. It really feels good to be able to give back and help someone who needs it.”
National Night Out (NNO): The National Night Out program in New Ulm was initiated by MBW Company. It has a dual purpose: to promote neighborhood safety and to promote the gift of diversity. Each year, MBW Co. joins with the local police department, fire department and recreational center to sponsor the NNO Community Rally with food, games, music and activities. The agency celebrates safety in the community and promotes neighborhood picnics.
In addition, some of the homes host the National Night Out neighborhood picnic in August. This activity fosters healthy relationships with neighbors and makes the residents of these homes valued members of their communities. Go here to view more photos.
