A Year of Giving Back

After days spent around the table and hitting the shopping cart with friends and family, today feels like a good day to try and spread some of that cheer to those in need. It’s GivingTuesday here in the U.S. and around the world, and to mark the occasion, Morgan & Morgan is looking back at the charitable giving and volunteering done by our over 3000 incredible employees over the last year.
