Review for Cradles to Crayons, Newton, MA, USA
My family has had many different introductions to C2C, and they have all been amazing. My daughters have volunteered through school community service events, my family has volunteered through my husband's company-wide service day, and I've volunteered with friends. My youngest daughter has held her last two birthdays at the Conshohocken location where the girls donated new socks and underwear instead of birthday gifts and then put together packs. They had so much fun putting together outfits for kids in need that they were reluctant to leave after two hours. We just cleaned out our closets and toy cupboard and were able to donate 11 garbage bags and boxes of gently used clothing. It is a wonderful feeling to know that your clothing and toys will be going to kids in need. My girls are always keen on cleaning, ironing and folding the clothes for donations to make sure they are high enough quality for C2C.
More Feedback
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
my family's feelings about volunteer time. This is one of the few places that we can go and volunteer side by side and spend time together while contributing to the wonderful cause.
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
help them hook up some washers and dryers so that some of the clothing that is still good enough to donate but not quite clean enough can be reclaimed.
