Join the Boston Platoon for a volunteer shift in The Giving Factory Warehouse with Cradles to Crayons. This project involves hands-on processing of the donated goods that flow in on a regular basis. Each station in the warehouse includes inspecting, sorting, and packaging donations to ultimately be distributed to the children in the greater Boston community.
All volunteers should arrive at The Giving Factory 15 minutes prior to the shift to check in.
All volunteers are encouraged to bring donations of children's items. Clothing (youth sizes 0-20 and adult sizes small & medium), Winter Coats and Jackets, and Shoes (infant/child sizes 5-13 and adult sizes 1-10) are most in need.
All volunteers must be at least 5 years old to volunteer with us. Any child under the age of 18 needs an adult present with them for the entire shift when they come to volunteer.
