Eastern Bank CEO Richard Holbrook with Housing Families Community Outreach Coordinator accepting house created by Mooo Restaurant.
The Boston Christmas Festival hosted its 20th annual Gingerbread House Competiton to benefit Housing Families Inc., a Malden based non profit dedicated to ending family homelessness in Massachusetts. Boston area restaurants created elegant gingerbread houses which were on display at Boston’s Seaport World Trade Center November 8-10. Houses were judged and awarded special recognition in various categories. Donors purchased the gingerbread houses to help support Housing Families programs.
