Cradles to Crayons® is coming to Lexington for a Community Collection to help provide essential winter clothing and other items to local low-income and homeless children.

“As winter begins, families face another season battling against high heating, housing, and food costs. For local families facing Clothing Insecurity, warm clothing is one more expense in an already limited budget,” said Alicia Kabir, Executive Director of Cradles to Crayons Massachusetts. “Winter layers and cold weather outerwear provided by Cradles to Crayons will be critical for families wanting to ensure their children are warmly outfitted whatever the temperature at school or home,” she added.

Donations will be accepted at Lexington Montessori and St. Brigid’s Church in Lexington between Jan. 21 – 31.
