Help with Valentine’s Day gift bags

Each February, the Sudbury-Wayland-Lincoln Domestic Violence Roundtable collects items for Valentine’s Day and fills gift bags for adults and children temporarily living in local domestic violence shelters and transitional housing programs. The bags are decorated by the children from Sudbury Extended Day. Help assemble bags on Tuesday, Feb. 11 at 1:30pm at the Sudbury Grange (326 Concord Rd. next to Sudbury Town Hall). Useful donations include store gift cards, socks and underwear, cosmetics, toiletries, journals, and gloves/mittens. Items for children could include playing cards, educational materials, small toys, small stuffed animals, underwear, socks and candy (no books, crayons, pencils, markers, or Matchbox cars, please).
 
Donations may be left in the collection basket at Sudbury Wine and Spirits in the Rugged Bear Plaza Road (410 Boston Post Rd, Sudbury). The 2025 collection will end on February 10th. For details, see the DVRT website. Questions? Email info@dvrt.org.
