Merrill Lynch Wealth Management
(MLWM) associates raised funds to
purchase and distribute 65 mattress
sets and 50 bedding sets to St.
Vincent de Paul (SVDP) Cincinnati to
distribute to families.  In addition, a
Merrill Lynch employee contributed
an additional $4,000 to the
mattress fund which paired with a
matching contribution from the
company allows SVDP to provide an
additional 80 beds.  In the end, 145
beds for families in need!  

This is MLWM's first of four seasonal
projects in a year-long service and
donation partnership with SVDP.
