New Go-To Crew Request: Infant Clothing 0-18 months

The family shelter system is beyond capacity and we are getting numerous requests every week to help new families with young children. After two emergency response deliveries over the weekend, we need your help restocking our shelves with baby clothing!

Please help us prepare for our upcoming family shelter deliveries and additional emergency response deliveries by donating infant clothing in sizes 0-18 months as soon as possible.

Drop off your donations from 10am - 12pm Mondays through Thursdays and the last Saturday of every month. Our donation center is located at 1329 Highland Avenue in Needham Center. Get directions.

Get Your Group Involved!

Together with your colleagues, employees, classmates, or members of your community or faith group, assemble Welcome Baby Bags full of essentials for babies experiencing homelessness. These bags, stocked with diaper cream, wipes, clothing, and more, help new parents care for their newborns in the early months.

About the Go-To Crew

The Go-To Crew is a group of individuals who receive email alerts about our urgent donation needs. Members of the Go-To Crew help us respond within 24-48 hours to urgent requests from our partner programs on behalf of specific families or individuals in crisis.

When we receive an urgent request from a shelter or we are running dangerously low on a certain item, we send an email to the Go-To Crew listing the specific needs. Go-To Crew members ship the items to Circle of Hope or drop the items off in person during the hours listed in the alert. Our volunteer drivers bring the donated items directly to the family, individual, or shelter in need right away. On average, we send Go-To Crew requests once per month and members can respond to as many or as few as they would like.
