By: Valerie's Gallery In addition, Valerie’s Gallery Benefit Day in Newburyport kicks off a collection drive from Saturday Nov. 21st through Sunday Dec. 6th to gather brand new hats, mittens, pajamas, socks and underwear for boys and girls from newborn to age 14. Gently-used hats and mittens will also be accepted. All who donate items will be entered to win a $100 store gift certificate. “Community Giving Tree is very near to my heart," said Valerie Stainton, owner of Valerie's Gallery. "This is the fourth year that we have collaborated to make the holidays a little brighter. I support them because they serve a need for low-income families in our area by providing needed supplies directly to families through local social service agencies, whether it's cribs, car seats, disposable diapers, or clothing. We have been so touched by the generosity of local families to help us collect for others in need," she added. Community Giving Tree is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization headquartered in West Boxford, MA. Every year, Community Giving Tree distributes clothing and other basic necessities like baby equipment, holiday toys, toiletries, school supplies, and diapers to more than 6,000 children in northeastern Massachusetts. Two-thirds of the recipients live in Lawrence, Haverhill, and Lynn, Massachusetts. The needs of this community continues to rise as chronic unemployment and recent downsizing take their toll.
