Founder Cherylann Gengel lost her daughter, 19-year-old Brit Gengel, in the catastrophic 2010 Haiti earthquake. She was in Haiti as part of a relief effort two days before the earthquake struck.
Now, her compassion to help those in need lives on through the family foundation, which includes an orphanage in Haiti that was opened in 2015.
The group is accepting more donations from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at their Worcester headquarters Monday.
