Holiday dinners

Of the agency’s commitment to giving back to the Bangor area community, Pulse Marketing
founder and president Cintia Miranda said, “We are committed to helping the community that
supports us, and as a small business we appreciate the hard work and dedication of local
nonprofits. We look for ways we can give back to our community all year, but especially during
the holidays. Everyone, including people experiencing homelessness and the workers
supporting them, should be able to experience the joy of the season, and our donation helps.”
