Norfolk County Registry of Deeds Serving as Cradles to Crayons Donation Site

Press release from the Register of Deeds Office

Norfolk County Register of Deeds William P. O’Donnell is pleased to announce that the Registry of Deeds, 649 High Street, Dedham, will serve as a donation site for the non-profit organization, Cradles to Crayons. Canton residents are encouraged to make their donations there.

Founded in 2002, Cradles to Crayons (C2C) is an innovative non-profit organization which is based in Brighton, MA. C2C is committed to providing every child in need with the essentials they need to feel safe, warm, ready to learn, and valued. C2C’s unique commitment to the “whole child” nurtures self-esteem and creativity by providing new and like-new clothing, books, school supplies, and other critical items to disadvantaged children across Massachusetts.

Registrar O’Donnell has dedicated space in the Registry’s lower lobby to serve as the donation site. Too many Massachusetts children, ages newborn to 12 years of age experience the New England winter without a warm coat, or face their first day of school without a backpack. This donation site will help Cradles to Crayons meet the hundreds of requests received each week by providing this donation site to the resident’s of Norfolk County. Register O’Donnell said, “I encourage the businesses and resident’s of Norfolk County to consider participating in this very worthy cause and drop by the Registry of Deeds with a donation.”

The items in need are, clothing; children sizes newborn to 20 and adult sizes, shoes, sneakers, sandals, coats, books, new arts and craft/school supplies and baby supplies, especially crib sheets. All items must be new or like-new.

The donation site is located in the Registry’s lower lobby. Should you have any questions or require assistance in donating at the Registry, please call 781-461-6104 or email; agardner@norfolkdeeds.org. To learn more about Cradles to Crayons, visit their website: www.cradlestocrayons.org.
