Cradles to Crayons (C2C) welcomes volunteers of all abilities for a hands-on, fun, and impactful shift at The Giving Factory, at 281 Newtonville Ave. in Newton. Volunteers roll up their sleeves and assist with hands-on processing of donated goods for designated recipients and organizations throughout Greater Boston and beyond. Each station in The Giving Factory includes inspecting, sorting, and packaging donations to ultimately be distributed to low-income and homeless children. 

While repeat volunteers are always appreciated, one-time volunteers are also welcome! Volunteers as young as 5 years old can help at The Giving Factory; individuals under 18 must be accompanied by an adult for the duration of their volunteer shift.
