About The Teddy Bear Village Holiday Helpers Program
Donating to Cradles to Crayons
This holiday season, we are kicking off a giving drive for lesser-privileged children in the Metrowest area called The Teddy Bear Village Holiday Helpers Program. Our entire team and community are coming together to donate to this cause. This year, The Teddy Bear Village Holiday Helpers Program is asking for donations to Cradles To Crayons, a nonprofit in Massachusetts focused on providing essential goods for kids in need. Cradles to Crayons provides children from birth through age 12, living in homeless or low-income situations, with the essential items they need to thrive – at home, at school, and at play. With a strong mission and donation centers around Massachusetts and the Metrowest area, we feel that a partnership with Cradles to Crayons makes perfect sense for us.
