Although 2020 was a very peculiar and uncomfortable year, time flew by and the season of giving is now right around the corner! As you know, we at DRB Capital, love giving back to our community and we didn’t want to wait till November to start doing so.

We got an awesome opportunity to partner up with one of our favorite non- profit organizations, Boca Helping Hands, for their Thanksgiving Box Brigade program. This program provides families with a turkey and a box filled with everything a family needs to prepare a holiday meal.

We filled thirteen boxes with an assortment of dinner essentials such as; stuffing, gravy, mashed potatoes, vegetables, fruits, cranberry sauce, yams, pie filling and pie crust. With this donation, each box is able to feed a family of five!

This donation brought big smiles to our faces and we hope it did the same for the families receiving them. We can’t wait to continue giving back to our community for the remainder of 2020 !

Thank You! Bethesda Hospital East – Frontline Health Workers

With the ongoing coronavirus pandemic continuing to affect many aspects of daily life, it is easy to feel helpless. Although some communities have begun to reopen, the outbreak continues to strain resources, shut down businesses and infect millions of people worldwide.

We, at DRB Capital, believe that no matter who you are or what your situation is, you can make a difference. We also have a strong desire to help out in our community whenever possible.

Frontline heath workers are essential to the global response to COVID-19. In hospitals, clinics and homes all around the world, they are taking a personal risk to ensure the rest of us get the care we need. There is no better time to reward these heroes than right now.

In order to show our appreciation, we teamed up with Palm Beach Bagel to deliver 50 lunches to frontline health workers from the Bethesda Hospital East, located in Boynton Beach FL. Each individual was rewarded with a lunch box that contained a delicious sandwich or salad with an encouraging note.

We received amazing feedback and appreciative messages from the staff at Bethesda Hospital East. Putting a smile on their faces and providing them with a great meal was an amazing feeling for us all! We can’t wait to continue helping our community in any way we can.

The time has come for children to head back to school and begin a rather unique school year. With COVID-19 cases still on the rise, children are going to have to adapt to a new reality when it comes to learning and thriving without raising the risk of spreading COVID-19.

Whether children are going back to school or pursuing online education, this transition to our new normal can be difficult to children and parents alike. Since so many of our team members have kids, we want to share the latest information on what parents can expect:

According to UNICEF, these are some practical measures schools should be taking to prevent coronavirus from spreading:

• Staggering the start and close of the school day
• Staggering mealtimes
• Moving classes to temporary spaces or outdoors
• Holding school in shifts, to reduce class size

Hygiene measures should be put into place such as handwashing, coughing, sneezing into elbows, physical distancing measures, frequent cleaning procedures for facilities and safe food preparation services.

Some important questions to ask teachers and school administrators are:

• What steps has the school taken to ensure students’ safety?
• How is the school supporting children’s mental health during this difficult time?
• How is the school going to handle bullying when it comes to the stigma surrounding children who have been sick?
• What can I do to help?

There are new challenges for those who are not physically going back to school and will have to pursue online education. This can be quite demanding for parents who also have to work whether it be from home or the office. For assistance and tools to make this process easier, check out the following websites:

For many Americans, celebrating Independence Day typically involves fireworks, barbecues and large gatherings. However, this year, there is no doubt that this 4th of July will look completely different from previous years.

 As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to increase in numbers, large fireworks shows have all been cancelled, many beaches & parks will be closed and people are encouraged to avoid large gatherings. 

Although we can’t celebrate in the ways we are used to, we still wanted to do something fun here at DRB Capital. TeamDRB members wore their most patriotic gear and a prize was awarded to the most creatively dressed individual!  Check out photos below.

While we wish you all a great and fun filled holiday, we also advise you to take your precautions to be as safe as possible.
