At Marx Okubo, uncertainty doesn't stand a chance, and this is especially applicable when communities come together with purpose. Recently we were proud to support the incredible work of the Manna Food Center.

Several members of our team in the District of Columbia, Maryland, and Virginia area worked together to sort roughly 1200-1600 lbs. of food in support of the organization's mission to build lasting food security across the DMV region. This is about more than organizing and handing out food--it's about creating stronger, more resilient communities for the future.

Through Marx Okubo’s supportive volunteer program, The MO Effect, our employees can choose to take time off to volunteer in activities that enhance and serve the communities in which we live and work. The intention of this program is to create community engagement opportunities for our employees that are purposeful and help those in need--and all regions participate throughout the year.

Big thanks to our volunteers! Robert Phinney, Amit Desai, Abideena Dambo, Matthew O'Brien, Sara Royle Cepeda, Lisa Bazile, Jeyson Ventura, Chris Waltz, and Richard Clousing.
