Give Thanks by Donating New Gifts to Local Children in Need

Community Giving Tree is collecting new, warm, winter essentials for holiday gifts.

As the holidays approach, we often think about toys but there are many children who would simply love a warm pair of pajamas. There are children that would like a hat and a pair of mittens that fit, or even new underwear and socks. Community Giving Tree will be collecting new warm winter items to distribute as holiday gifts for local children in need.

Other holiday gifts include: fleece jackets or hoodies, diapers & wipes, fleece blanket throws, body wash, lotion, and shampoo, toothbrushes and toothpaste, warm infant clothing & layette, new toys and children’s books. All sizes newborn through teen are needed.

Donations can be dropped off at the Giving Center in West Boxford (572B Main Street) on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays from 9am-3pm or Saturday, December 6th 9am-Noon. All gifts must be in to distribute to social workers the following week.
