“Giving Tree” to Support REACH and Family Shelters
At our REACH Early Intervention Program and our family shelters in Pittsfield and Greenfield, our staff works tirelessly to support hundreds of children during challenging periods of transition.
This holiday season, please consider supporting the children and families we serve by participating in our second annual “Giving Tree,” giving toys, books, and other gifts to our programs to enhance the participant experience.
These gifts will be used in our communal play areas, playgroups across western Massachusetts, and to support the individual families in our shelters during their stay with us.
This is a great and easy way to show support for these vital programs, and put a smile on a child’s face!
Interested in participating? Just choose any item (or items) from our Amazon Wishlist. The items will ship directly to our administrative building.
Prefer to shop locally? You can also drop off unwrapped gifts from the list below to our administrative building at 21 Olander Drive in Northampton. Toys can also be dropped off at the Greenfield Department of Public Health, at 20 Sanderson St. during regular business hours.
Every gift, no matter how small, makes a difference!
We are looking to collect new:
- Board Books (various authors—or pick your own childhood favorite! Books in English, or bilingual with Haitian/Creole, Portuguese, and Spanish are all welcome)
- Stack and count cups and blocks
- Shape sorters
- Balls (sensory, oball, and more)
- Play-doh
- Bubbles
- Dolls and stuffed animals
- Cozy throw blankets
- Magna-tiles and other building toys
- Gift Cards to Target, Big Y, or Amazon
- Art supplies
- Coloring books
- And more!
