We Care 2023
Bringing Holiday Cheer to Children Across America
We Care 2023
Since 2004, MTA has hosted We Care at the Boys & Girls Club of America on Lemon Hill Ave in Sacramento.
Thank you to all our volunteers, partners, and sponsors for continuing to support We Care in Sacramento year after year.
Bringing Holiday Cheer to Children Across America
Every year since 1996, MillerKnoll and the Boys & Girls Club of America join forces for the We Care holiday event. More than 6,000 children across North America attend We Care events with volunteers from Herman Miller, dealers, suppliers, and leading architecture and design firms.
We Care gives children the opportunity to create holiday gifts for family, teachers, and friends at a variety of craft stations designed, supplied and facilitated by our local Architectural & Design firms. For some children, it is the only way they can provide gifts for their loved ones. In addition to crafts, there is Santa, gift-wrapping, music, food, and other activities for the children’s enjoyment.
