AUSTIN, Texas, Dec. 5, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Brother recently gave $2,500 to support families at Helping Hand Home for Children for the second consecutive year. Helping Hand Home for Children is the oldest residential childcare agency in Austin, Texas and a priceless resource providing a haven for children healing from physical, emotional and sexual abuse, neglect or abandonment.

"Participation and support of charities like this is what Brother is all about. We try to be at the side of the community and our partners in a meaningful way," said Everett Hartman, Senior Key Account Manager.

Brother got involved with this program through a collaboration with Austin-area Office Depot associates, who were interested in partnering with a local organization to assist with their toy drive efforts for Helping Hand. "I saw this as a great way for us to work with Office Depot to support an important cause," said Hartman. "It is a great feeling to be able to put smiles on the faces of these children. This is something that we definitely plan to continue to partner with them on in years to come."

Associates from Brother and Office Depot delivered the toys today to Helping Hand.
