At MKT, we uphold our tradition of celebrating the end of the year with a meaningful twist on Secret Santa. Instead of exchanging gifts among ourselves, we chose to spread joy to those in need by donating to Orana House, a refuge for families affected by domestic abuse. Our team thoughtfully selected gifts for children of all ages and their parents, ensuring a brighter Christmas for these families.
Thank you to our dedicated staff for their generosity. To learn more about Orana House and support their cause, visit Orana House. MKT wishes everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
