As we close out Holiday Helpings and kick off 2016, we can’t tell you how grateful we are for all of our corporate and community partners. We do a lot here at Bread for the City, but none of it would be possible without awesome people backing us–like our friends at WilmerHale LLP!

For more than ten years, WilmerHale has supported us in so many ways. The firm has led the pack in its financial support of Bread for the City, and also through the staff’s commitment to our work.

Year after year, the WilmerHale team rallies together to support Bread for the City by hosting an extraordinary Holiday Helpings fundraising drive. In 2015, they raised an incredible $35,000! On top of that, collecting boxes and boxes of much-needed items is a piece of cake for the WilmerHale team. This summer, they organized a fantastic toiletries drive and collected a whopping 1,586 items. Now that’s a lot of shampoo!

But they don’t stop there. Team WilmerHale spends their time sorting mountains of clothing donations, harvesting at City Orchard, packing food in our pantries, and, of course, providing hours and hours and hours of pro bono legal support that allows us to fulfill our mission of service with dignity and respect.

WilmerHale, our partnership means so much to us.  Many thanks for all that you do to support Bread for the City!
