Masco In The Community

Masco Legal Holds Book Drive for Detroit Nonprofit

Community Development

Last month, Masco Legal’s Community Engagement team partnered with the local nonprofit Rx for Reading Detroit (incorporated under the University of Detroit Mercy) to collect new and gently-used books for babies, toddlers, kids and teens to celebrate and support child literacy in Metro Detroit. Along with donating over 1,000 books, Masco HQ, Research & Design, and Flight Operations employees provided cash donations for the organization to purchase new books, coming to over $1,300 through our Matching Gift Program, which matches employee charitable donations dollar for dollar.

Thanks to all who donated, to the Masco Legal Community Engagement team for organizing a great event and to the Facilities team for helping make it happen!
