Review for Cradles to Crayons, Newton, MA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I am a volunteer at Cradles To Crayons. We started volunteering about a year ago and have invited and brought several friends! There are many opportunities for people of all ages to help. Our favorite area is "shopping" for the children. Non-profit organizations submit requests for donations for individual children. Volunteers "shop" through the donated items and bag the items for distribution. It is really very sad when a child has a need and that particular item is not available because C2C hasn't recieved donations of that particular item. They take donations of items for infants up through teen and always need more! If you can't come to help, please consider donating items! I would highly recommend C2C, my family of children ages 8-18 looks forward to each time we can go!

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

As above...we volunteer on a monthly basis. We are able to "shop" for children, clean toys,and sort clothes. The staff is welcoming, pleasant, and always very thankful!
