Review for Cradles to Crayons, Newton, MA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I started volunteering at Cradles when they were still in their old cramped facility. With the move to the new facilities about a year ago, we have been able to help many more people.

I am a non-traditional full-timre college student. I usually volunteer once during the week and whatever special events I can. This semester, I arranged my class schedule specifically so I would have time during the week to volunteer at Cradles.

I believe extremely highly in the work that Cradles does, I know the impact the organization has on the local community and its needy residents. C2C has many opportunities to help - from sorting donations, to cleaning donated toys to fulfilling orders for the community partners.

No matter your talent or time available, Cradles makes every volunteer welcome. Every staff member goes out of their way to thank you sincerely for your time and help.

The only thing about C2C's success is that we need additional volunteers. The winter weather this year has not made this easier.
