Room To Grow 2008
 
Our supply of clothing is quite low. If you have gently used clothing of all sizes, all seasons, and footwear we would greatly apprecite your support. We are also in the need of large size duffle bags, school supplies and over the counter medications (especially pain relievers, antibiotic and antifungal creams), toiletries (toothpaste, toothbrushes, soaps and deodorant). Our next schedule trip to Honduras is in November and we will be running health clinics. Supplies may be dropped off at the following locations:
 
(Lanias/Collins) 27 Captain Miles Lane in Concord
(Kimballs) 60 Gleason Road in Lexington
(Pilgrim Congregational Church) 55 Coolidge Avenue in Lexington

Evening Volunteer sessions will be held at our office at 142 Berkeley Street in the Back Bay.

The mission of Room to Grow is to enrich the lives of babies born into poverty throughout their critical first three years of development.

Room to Grow's program provides parents raising babies in poverty with one-on-one parenting support and essential baby items throughout their children's first three years of life. Parents expecting a baby are referred to Room to Grow by selected prenatal programs assisting low-income families. Upon their referral, parents visit Room to Grow's warm and inviting space once every three months from just before the birth of the baby until their child turns three. During their one-on-one appointments with our staff clinicians, typically lasting two hours, parents receive developmental information, customized support, and all of the needed baby items to ensure a healthy and secure start for their child.

We are looking for volunteer to helps us prepare the clothing, toys, books, and equipment we receive as donations for our clients. We welcome anyone (generally 17 and up, but we can certainly make exceptions) who is detail-oriented to help us sort, fold, organize donations. We are looking for students who would be able to volunteer an ongoing basis, even if for just a few hours a week.

Please have interested students contact me at golsa@roomtogrow.org. Thanks again, and I appreciate your help!
