As part of the “Love Local: Supporting Our Restaurants & Our Community” campaign this year the Charles River Dining Collaborative is organizing a clothing drive to give back while visiting your favorite local restaurants.
Collections will benefit Circle of Hope, a Needham-based nonprofit that provides homeless children, women, and men in Boston and Metro West with clothing and necessities.
Items needed: NEW sweatshirts, sweatpants, t-shirts and items to help get through cold winter months. Drop off at participating restaurant locations throughout all 4 communities throughout the month of Feb.
Other ways to support: Make an online donation here or via the QR code at all collection sites or by helping to spread the word via social media or at your business.
