Braintree Toy And Pajama Drive

BRAINTREE, MA — It's never too early to think about helping those in need before the holidays, especially those in your own community.

There will be two toy drives in Braintree next month, both benefiting the local Marge Crispin Center. The Marge Crispin Center already finished their collections for their Thanksgiving baskets, so they are trying to get a jump start on the December holidays.

The first drive is on Dec. 1, the third annual “Fill a Cruiser,” hosted by the Braintree Police Department and Brewster's ambulance services. The toy drive is from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the town hall.

On Dec. 6, the ninth annual Christmas party is coming to the Granite Grill. There will be free appetizers and a cash bar. Admission is donating a toy.
