Needham, Massachusetts Jan 13, 2026 (Issuewire.com) - Johnson Brunetti, an independent retirement and investment planning firm serving Massachusetts families since 2003, recently collected more than 1,000 toys and donated $1,000 donation to Action for Boston Community Development (ABCD).
During the holiday season, Johnson Brunetti holds a client appreciation brunch at a local venue where toys their generous clients have donated support the annual ABCD toy drive. After the event, ABCD transports toys to the distribution center, where they will be given to children in need.
“The holidays are a time for gratitude, reflection, and generosity and this annual event helps us show gratitude to our clients and reinforce our commitment to community involvement,” said David Shapiro, Regional Director of Wealth at Johnson Brunetti. “Our clients trust us to help them plan for the future, and this event gave us an opportunity to come together and support organizations that are helping families meet basic needs and bring joy to children during a critical time of year.”
Action for Boston Community Development (ABCD) is Greater Boston’s largest human services organization, providing essential programs that support low-income individuals and families, including fuel assistance, food access, childcare, workforce development, and family stabilization services.
“We’re grateful to Johnson Brunetti for their generous support,” said Julianna Monteiro operations manager at Action for Boston Community Development (ABCD). “Donations like this help ABCD continue delivering vital services to individuals and families who rely on us, especially during the winter months when the need is greatest.”
The toy drive portion of the event encouraged clients and guests to bring new, unwrapped toys, resulting in more than 1,000 donations. The toys will be distributed to children throughout the region, helping ensure a brighter holiday season for families in need.
“Giving back has always been an important part of who we are as a firm,” Shapiro added. “We’re proud of our clients for embracing this effort and helping us extend our impact beyond financial planning and into the community.”
