Since 1984, our community has been at the heart of everything we do. It’s given us support, inspiration, and countless opportunities to grow. At Italbec, we believe in the power of giving back—because our community matters to us. Through initiatives like raising funds for blood cancer research, organizing Christmas toy drives, and collecting clothing for women’s shelters, we’re committed to making a difference.
Imagine a better future, and let’s build it together. Giving back isn’t just something we do; it’s a vital part of who we are.
“I believe in the human spirit, and I believe each of us, in our own way, can make this world better.”
– Olimpia Testa
My Little Red Suitcase
Every spring, we continue a cherished tradition that began with a single red suitcase filled with clothing and accessories that were once loved but ready to be passed on. Inspired by the story of Olimpia Testa, our president, this annual clothing drive collects gently used items and donates them to an organization supporting women in need. My Little Red Suitcase is more than just an act of giving; it’s a way to offer women the opportunity to embrace a fresh start, just as these items once did for us.
“A few years ago, the ritual spring cleaning of my closet saw me fill an entire red suitcase with clothing and accessories that I could no longer keep. Though I could no longer make use of them, I longed for them to benefit others as they had me.”
– Olimpia Testa

Annual Holiday Toy Drive
At Italbec, we embrace the spirit of giving during the holiday season with our Annual Toy Drive. Every year, around Christmas time, we invite our community to join us in spreading joy to children in need. We welcome new toys, still in their original packaging, of any type.
Donations can be dropped off at our office, where they will be collected and carefully organized. Once the drive concludes, we proudly donate these toys to various children’s hospitals, ensuring they reach young patients who could use a little extra cheer during the holidays.
Your generous contributions make a significant difference, bringing smiles and happiness to many children. Thank you for helping us make this season brighter for those who need it most.
