Operation Sock Drop!
Just in time for the holidays and the winter season, Martini's employees participated in this annual collection to support the Friends of Boston's Homeless.

Employees donated at least one brand-new pair socks that were shipped off to the Friends of Boston's Homeless. This simple, yet effective donation program will help keep some of our community's neediest, most vulnerable citizens warm and safe during the cold winter months.
