ACC Northeast Members Aim Efforts at Clothing Insecurity with Cradles to Crayons

ACCNE & Littler Volunteers

How many pairs of pants did you have to wear to school?  That was the discussion in the car as we drove away from Cradles to Crayons (@c2cBoston) in Newtonville on November 2nd.  Having learned that 1 in 3 children in Massachusetts and 1 in 2 children in Boston, are at risk of clothing Insecurity, we were amazed at the refined leadership this organization brings to the cause.  In our world of overflowing closets, it was a meaningful morning for both of us.

Thanks to our sponsor, Littler Mendelson PC, ACC Northeast members and their families (and about 90 other volunteers) ran the c2c Giving Factory for 2 hours.  Volunteers from religious organizations, companies, and even a birthday party worked together with thought and intention to help unpack donations, clean them, sort them by sizes, and repack so that they would find a home with a child in need.

The c2c facility in Newtonville is impeccable, and extremely well-organized.  A lawyer’s dream, it felt like we were living in a Microsoft File Explorer — beautifully labeled and color coordinated!  Our guide, Joe, quickly taught us how to check the donations for wear and tears, kid-friendly logos, and the guidelines for what a week of clothes looks like for each age group.  May your contract files be as organized as the bins of clothing these organizations process!

The Littler/ACCNE team was quickly put in charge of sorting clothes into packages of a week’s worth of clothing.  It was the perfect task for a bunch of lawyers, as we all sorted through bins of onesies, dresses, pants, sweaters, and T-shirts—the works..After 2 hours of working together, our team had packaged over 230 weeks’ worth of clothes for kids of all ages, to be distributed in the area through the organization’s network of nonprofits.
