24 Hours to Give- Cradles to Crayons

Cradles to Crayons has a new home for donations in Lexington! You can get 24- hour access to “Lexington Community Collection Unit” that is located at St. Brigid Parish- 2001 Massachusetts Ave.; Lexington, MA 02421. Look for the storage unit with the purple Cradles to Crayons banner.

Something as simple as cleaning out your closet can have an enormous impact. This year, non-profit Cradles to Crayons will receive 17,000 requests for essential winter items from local children in-need. The coat that your daughter has outgrown or the pants that are now too short for your son can bring safety and warmth to a child in need. While swapping your family’s wardrobe this season, put aside new and like-new children’s items and drop off donations inside the Lexington Community Collection Unit. The unit is accessible for drop-offs 24 hours a day. Your donations will address a critical need and will ensure that a child, perhaps living right in your own community, will feel valued and have the essentials necessary to thrive.

Please share this email with your friends, neighbors, family members, children’s schools, and local organizations to help spread the word about this great way for families to give back this winter!
