We are happy to announce our annual HOLIDAY GIFT DRIVE, in conjunction with Village Bank- a tradition Franklin has been participating in for many years.
We know this year's holiday season will bring unique challenges to many families in our community. We also know COVID amplifies inequities a
nd hardships already present. If you are able, please consider giving to Newton families in need in the following ways: Unwrapped gifts can be donated for children ages newborn to 10. *There will be NO drop-off box at school this year, due to COVID safety restrictions. Rather please drop them on the front porch at 167 Cherry Street. Please contact Jackie at jsavageborne@bwh.harvard.edu with any questions. Other ways to donate: *Purchase and ship an item off of the Amazon Wish List. (found at https://www.village-bank.com/holidaygiftdrive/)
*Make a tax-deductible cash donation to the Rotary Club of Newton. (found at village-bank.com/holidaygiftdrive) *Drop off a new, unwrapped toy or a gift card from a local Newton merchant at any Village Bank Newton location:
