Volunteering at Cradles to Crayons

This weekend, a few of my classmates and I volunteered with people from the community at St. Mary's Church in Newton to help Cradles to Crayons sort through hundreds of donations. Being a part of this event made me realize how important it is for the community to be involved with non-profit organizations. By sorting the donations into categories such as girls and boys clothes, toys, and winter accessories, it made the sorting process at their warehouse, The Giving Factory, easier.
Spending time helping an organization doesn't only help the people in need, but gives the ones who volunteer the gratification of helping their community.
Our event and winter clothing drive are ways the students of Lasell College can get involved and help children in need.
