Crosspoint Associates will be hosting a drive for Cradles to Crayons Boston. Cradles to Crayons creates KidPacks that are hand-selected with care to meet a local boy or girl’s specific needs and wants. They accept a wide range of new and gently-used items for children ages newborn to 12.
The drive will run from Monday, April 1st to Friday, April 5th. The donation bin will be located in the Lobby of 25 Thomson Place. Please tell your neighbors, family, and friends. Together we can make this drive a success!
The mission strives to provide every child with the essentials they need to feel safe, warm, and valued. You can help us by making sure that your gently-used donations are high-quality: not ripped, stained, broken, or missing pieces. Please review the standards attached to ensure we can distribute your donations to a deserving child.
