MelroseKind Seeks Donations of Halloween Costumes, Crayons

For the remainder of September, MelroseKind, a Melrose-based non-profit organization, is collecting new and gently used Halloween costumes and new boxes of crayons. The organization asks that the community donate costumes up to size large and that crayon boxes be suitable to be used as school supplies.

The costumes and crayon boxes will be provided to families participating in the Medford Family Network, a no-cost parenting education and family support program that has been providing education and services that positively influence the development of children pre-natal to age 8 for the past 25 years.

Please donate at MelroseKind’s Kindness Porches through the end of September (24 hours/day!):

• 89 Walton Park
• 160 West Wyoming
• 647 Main St (Follow Your Art)
• 249 Grove Street
• Amazon Wish List (tinyurl.com/MelroseKindWishList)

MelroseKind encourages Melrose residents to share kindness by donating. For more information, please contact Maribeth Darwin by emailing maribeth@melrosekind.com.
