Members of Metropolitan LifeWorks, Inc. Plan to Donate Time to Serve Dinner at Bereavement Center Bo’s Place

Houston, TX, December 31, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Members of Metropolitan LifeWorks, a sales and marketing firm founded in 2004, will be donating their time to serve dinner to children at Bo’ Place. Several members of the company, along with friends and family, will volunteer for the bereavement center.

Metropolitan LifeWorks, or MLW, is a client acquisition firm founded in Barcelona, Spain. Its original focus was to serve as a boutique business consulting firm. Metropolitan LifeWorks’ primary client list included organizations like the University of Hamburg, MCI, Aguas de Barcelona, and the US State Department. The company relocated to the United States and changed its scope to marketing and sales. MLW now focuses on client acquisition and retention for national service providers.

Metropolitan LifeWorks is hired by national clients to represent their brand name to business account holders. MLW is in charge of increasing the number of business account holders in an assigned market share as well as retaining these account holders for long term profitability.

Since shifting its focus, Metropolitan LifeWorks’ took on its first client, a leader in the mobile telecommunications industry. The new client is the U.S. wireless operation of one of the largest telecommunications companies in the World, with nearly 130 million customers worldwide. The new client is a national provider of wireless voice, messaging, and data services and claims to be capable of reaching over 293 million Americans.

Bo’s Place is a non-profit organization that offers grief support services free of charge to children, families and adults. Bo’s is currently Houston’s oldest and only on-going, free-of-charge, grief support program for children. The free of charge support comes in many ways, while the organization provides education and resources for those who assist people in grief.

Bo’s Place was founded and operates on the belief that a large part of healing process involves allowing grieving children and adults to share their stories, memories, experiences, thoughts, and feelings with other grieving children and adults.

With its inception in 1990, Bo’s Place began as an Information and Referral Line that provided callers with free grief resources. Initially, the organization provided support contacts in the Houston Area and in 1995, Bo’s Place moved its headquarters to Houston’s Museum District. There, its services were expanded to include support groups for grieving children and their families and filling the need for a program directly focused on the needs of the children. The most recent change occurred in 2005 when Bo’s Place designed a location specifically for grief support groups.

Members of Metropolitan LifeWorks plan to get involved with the organization this winter. MLW will be joining the individuals of Bo’s Place to serve dinner and share their time.

“We are excited to be in our new location in Houston and we want to make more of an impact than just doing business in this town. We want to be a bigger part of the community and Bo’s Place is a great place to start. As we grow over the next few months, we want to continue giving back to the Houston community. I’m proud to say we have a team of individuals at MLW who have similar values,” explains Derek Fisher, President at Metropolitan LifeWorks.

As Fisher explains, the company is planning to continue its philanthropic efforts as it continues to grow. Metropolitan LifeWorks plans to expand globally by 2012. More information about the companies goals to expand can be found in the Growth and Development page of their website.
