Mission Statement
Our mission is to help families in need raise happy, healthy children while creating a more sustainable community by providing recycled clothing, baby equipment, and other basic necessities.
About This Cause
Community Giving Tree is a grassroots organization founded in 2002 by two Boxford women who realized the potential benefit in collecting gently used baby equipment, such as cribs and strollers, from affluent communities, and distributing them to children in need in neighboring low income communities. They contacted local social service agencies and established partnerships to distribute the items collected. Feedback from these partner agencies taught them that low-income children were also in desperate need of clean, warm clothing, so the founders began to collect and bundle gently used children’s clothing as well. Residents of Boxford and surrounding communities were happy to donate clothing and baby items, and Community Giving Tree grew to serve more children in need. In 2009 Community Giving Tree achieved 501(c)(3) status. In 2010, a 2-story Giving Center was built. And in 2021, we opened a second Giving Center in Lawrence. Last year, over 15,000 children and teen mothers received goods from the organization. Volunteers contributed over 5,000 hours of community service.
