This September Wayland Dads are supporting local charity, Cradles to Crayons by collecting gently used children’s clothing, toys, footwear & books at several local events taking place around town (see locations/times below).  At those events, we will have a Wayland Dads table filled with dads kids volunteering for this worth cause.  In addition to collecting donations, the weekend of Sept 12^th, we will be handing out donation bags for families to take home and fill and return on Sept 19^th at the Wayland Community Art Fair.

•        Sept 12 – WAYS Kickoff Party @ high school (3:30 – 5pm)

•        Sept 12 – WCPA Beach Party @ town beach (4pm – 6pm).

•        Sept 13 – Cub Scout Open House @ town beach (2pm – 3pm) 

•        Sept 19 – Wayland Community Art Fair @ Town Building Parking lot  (11am – 5pm).

 

In November, a team of Wayland Dads and our kids (5 yrs+) will then go visit the very special Cradles to Crayons Giving Factory in Brighton to volunteer in their warehouse.   During our volunteer field trip we will learn the importance of giving back by helping this very worthy cause.  These field trips are incredibly rewarding.

 

The Giving Factory visit along with the donation drive effort are opportunities for families stress the importance of giving back to those less fortunate.  Take the time to collect items with your kids and then be sure to have your kids with you to drop them off at our donation tent.
