ABB Optical Group (ABB), a provider of optical products and business solutions in the eye care industry, has announced that Laurel Civic Association has received a $5,000 Platinum grant through the company’s Seventh Annual ABB Cares program, which recognizes non-profit organizations that support their communities with outstanding work and commitment.

 Nominated by Eyes On You in Venice, the Laurel Civic Association supports low-income families, providing monthly food distributions and supplemental food opportunities by helping them apply for government programs. The $5,000 ABB Cares grant will help feed students before they start their homework assistance with their volunteer tutors through the “Kids Café” program, which serves more than 200 hot meals each week to students after school.
