3rd Annual Pine Hill CSA Holiday Gift Drive

This holiday season we are excited to launch our 3rd Annual Holiday Gift Drive program to fulfill wishes for children in need. Last year, our PH community responded so generously to the gift drive and we’re looking forward to making this an annual tradition! We are partnering again with Project Just Because in Hopkinton, MA and the Massachusetts Department of Children and Families (DCF) office in Framingham, MA. The winter holiday season is a time of year that lends itself so well to teaching our children about the value of giving to others. There are many local families that need our support, particularly during this time. Specific lists were provided for 15 children from Project Just Because and DCF is looking to build a closet for teenagers who enter foster care on an emergency basis. If your family is able to help this year, we thank you.

If you have any other questions, feel free to reach out to Royale (Royale.Abrams@gmail.com) or Joanna (joannassanborn@gmail.com).

Collection deadline: Friday, December 9

Where: There will be a donation bin in the Pine Hill lobby

Important: We ask that you clearly label the gifts: DCF or Child #__

FAQ:

Should I wrap the gifts? No. Please leave gifts unwrapped, but the agencies have asked for wrapping paper this year so families wrap the gifts themselves.
Can I donate gently used items? No. Please only donate new items, or we strongly encourage re-gifting of unused items!
How many items can I sign up for? As many as you want!
Is there a greater need for certain items? The teens tend to get less presents, so don’t forget about them!
