Join us for 2 hours of volunteering at Cradles to Crayons and help make a difference for children in need in our community!

The Brickyard (https://thebrickyard.us) has reserved a volunteer slot for 15 people to help hand-pack customized “KidPacks” for local children in need.

Date: Saturday, September 26, 2026

Cradles to Crayons provides children from birth through age 12 who are experiencing poverty or homelessness with essential items such as properly fitting shoes, warm coats, backpacks, and school supplies. Having these essentials helps children feel valued, confident, and ready to learn.

Spots are limited to 15 volunteers, so let me know ASAP if you’d like to join us!

The Brickyard will provide T-shirts and lunch for all volunteers –  we’ll head over to a nearby restaurant together right after we finish up the volunteer shift.

We’d love to have you join us and make a meaningful difference together!

Want to join us?

Register today and we’ll be happy to reserve your spot!

About the Boston Chapter

Across cities and towns just like yours nationwide, we serve our communities by starting with bringing different neighbors together for events centered around Service, Leadership, and Civics.

By rolling up our sleeves side-by-side, we can begin to see that we have more in common than what divides us; that first and foremost we are fellow Americans with a common love for our families and communities.

These Chapters – also known as our Brickyards – are mobile places for neighbors to connect and solve local problems. We do this through respectful and open conversations, and to find higher ground as we work together brick-by-brick.
