At Clay, Massey & Associates, we believe it’s about more than just being a local business, it’s about a mission to help others and uplift our local communities. There are a so many wonderful leaders and volunteers that truly work to make Mobile – and the world – a better place. The impact these special people have on the lives of others cannot be overstated. They truly are the lifeblood of our community. Today we want to spotlight two separate local organizations that really touch our hearts. Nonprofit organizations like these typically operate on shoestring budgets, and boy do they ever do some amazing things with the limited funds they do receive. We have been blessed beyond measure, so for the holidays we wanted to spread a little extra Christmas blessings their way, by making a financial contribution to help them with some much-needed projects and supplies in furtherance of their mission!
