Causes
-
Here at the MDB family, children are our priority. But many children around the world are sadly less fortunate. Some precious babies might never have had a proper place to sleep, much less a safe and stylish nursery. That's why MDB has been committed to giving back—back to the children and back to the community at large.

-
Bethel
Bethel is a not-for-profit organization that provides foster care, education and professional training for Chinese orphans who are blind or visually impaired.

Union Rescue Mission
MDB supports Union Rescue Mission in its effort to embrace the urban poor. After all, URM is the only 24/7 emergency shelter in Central L.A. Since we knew they could use the help, in 2010 we donated $35,000 in MDB beds, cribs, changers, and dressers to furnish and decorate a few spaces at the Mission. We hope that in using this furniture, the women and children at URM will feel like they are part of the MDB family while they work to lead better, more prosperous lives.
