2016 Star of Hope Donation Drive
Donation Drive for Star of Hope
Collecting items through Monday, December 12th
Marco Specialty Steel, Inc. has donated to Star of Hope since 2006. Last year, we thought we’d take a different approach by having a Donation Drive. This year has been a difficult year for everyone, not just at Marco. Let’s lift our spirits with kindness and generosity to others in need.
