A city-wide collection of children’s essentials
WHAT: Cradles to Crayons® is partnering with Boston Centers for Youth & Families and Boston Children’s Museum to call on Boston residents to participate in a city-wide collection of children’s essentials.
As communities take on spring cleaning and clear out their closets this season, the Boston-based nonprofit asks to keep the collection in mind and donate any new and gently used clothing, shoes, books, and small toys at one of the participating drop-off points throughout the city.
The drive will culminate in the fun, hands-on Boston Collect & Sort volunteer event at Boston’s Benjamin Franklin Institute of Technology Auditorium on May 4, 2019.
WHEN: Monday, April 22 – Friday, May 3, 2019
WHERE: Drop-off locations include:
Boston Children’s Museum
308 Congress St.
Boston, MA 02210
BCYF Curley Community Center – South Boston
1663 Columbia Rd
Boston, MA 02127
