Does anyone know of any low income preschools or homeless shelters in the area/surrounding towns for kids that may need toys/books? We are going to be cleaning house over the next few months and I want to see our stuff go to a good home. Toys have been well maintained. Please message me contacts if you have any. Thank you :)

Cradles to Crayons is well respected. For new toys and crafts, you could also consider Birthday Wishes. They are in Newton and provide gifts and party items for children in shelters. http://birthdaywishes.org/
Can anyone recommend some good non-profits/charities in Boston?

There's also Birthday Wishes which gives birthday parties to homeless children. My friend is currently running a donation drive if you're interested! http://www.birthdaywishes.org/
We are looking for our 2014 charity, does anyone have any suggestions? Hoping for a smaller charity where our donation can really make a huge impact. Bonus points if it is located on the North Shore and promotes women’s interests. Thanks!
