Kits For Kids Drive Thru event distributing stuffed animals to children. We are so excited to be hosting our second stuffed animal drive and just in time for Valentine's day!! We will be hosting this drive at The Plymouth Church in Framingham at 87 Edgell Road. This is open to everyone and children do not need to be present in order to get a lovie. ***Only stuffed animals will be distruted on February 13, 2021.*** Our mission is to provide comfort, aid, and simple happiness to children and teens experiencing poverty, displacement, and various other forms of instability. Through community outreach and organizing, we learn the needs of a community's displaced children, and then do our best to provide for it. To some, a box of toys, winter clothing, and hygiene or healthcare products might not amount to a lot. But to some children, it can mean everything. Our organization is also centered around building community engagement with this issue. Through kit building events, where community members are asked to put kits together and prepare them for delivery, we are providing them an education on how pervasive child poverty and instability might be in their own hometowns. This education is priceless and has moved countless people to further engage with this issue at a local level. The CONTENTS of each kit varies depending on the number of donations available and the age of the child. Ideally, every kit should contain the following items: HYGIENE soap, toothbrush, toothpaste, facecloth, dental floss, shampoo, comb/brush, hair accessories CLOTHING winter hat, mittens or gloves, scarfs, socks TOYS stuffed animals, cars, dolls, crayons, coloring books, bouncy balls, yo-yos, and any unopened toys
