At Market Street Talent, our employees are truly passionate about helping the community. Each year, our internal team meets to discuss non-profit organizations we care about. We encourage everyone to share the causes and community initiatives that matter most to them. Finally, we vote and choose which organization(s) to support in the upcoming year with Market Street Talent’s Gives Back Program.
Gather was our elected non-profit organization to support in 2025. Gather provides nutritious food and meals to people experiencing hunger in the Seacoast (New Hampshire) and Maine. They serve the community through their pantry market, mobile markets, and innovative food access programs. Gather serves over 10,000 Seacoast residents each month and distributes more than 1.7 million pounds of food each year. Market Street Talent employees are proud to have contributed 35 volunteer hours this year, helping Gather in our local communities. At Gather’s Crossroads Kitchen, we worked in staggered shifts. Our first shift sliced, diced, and peeled produce. Our second shift cooked and packaged meals, transforming prepared ingredients into nutritious, individually packaged meals for hungry residents. We were also fortunate to volunteer with Gather’s Mobile Market this year. We unpacked, sorted, and arranged an impressive spread of donated food. We helped registered recipients move through an assembly line to choose produce, dry packaged goods, and baked goods to feed their families. Volunteers with Gather are truly appreciated, as shown by the many heartfelt Thank You’s at Crossroads Kitchen and the Mobile Market. We left each volunteer mission proud, knowing our contributions had made a difference in our local communities.
Market Street Talent is proud to announce another important cause we will support this coming year: the American Red Cross. This year, we helped with its Operation Holiday Cheer program. As a team, we collected and donated shelf-stable foods and toiletries for care packages sent to deployed service members. These packages supply deployed individuals with essentials when they need them most. Red Cross volunteers and staff deliver vital services: providing relief and support during crises, and helping people prepare for emergencies.
Additionally, Market Street Talent has pledged continued support to the American Red Cross with our newly expanded program established to recognize and reward new clients and partnerships. We hope to make a national impact with this new initiative, making a meaningful difference, both near and far. For every role opened through a new client partnership, MST will donate $100 to the American Red Cross. For every successful placement with a new client partnership, we’ll donate an additional $500. We believe business success and community support go hand in hand, and this initiative reflects our values-driven approach and people-first staffing philosophy. MST’s donation supports the American Red Cross's urgent mission needs, whether responding to disasters, collecting lifesaving blood, teaching lifesaving skills, or assisting military members and their families during emergencies. We are a firm committed to making every engagement count, for clients, candidates, and communities, and we plan to continue celebrating new business development with this rewarding program in the year to come.
Market Street Talent is proud to continue our MST Gives Back Program through 2025 and looks forward to supporting and volunteering with both Gather and the American Red Cross in 2026.
