40,000 New Volunteers arrive at GiftsToGive
April 4, 2019. Acushnet, Massachusetts
Too windy to go sailing or maneuvering a kite. Way, way too windy to fly, especially if you’re a honey bee! Which turns out to be perfect for motivating 40,000 volunteers into their new home! Seems the bees were in a hurry to get out of the wind, into their shelters and anxious to free their Queens.
If you’re thinking “what do honey bees have to do with a children’s charity”?

Logan sets a most perfect example for all of us!

In the middle of a very hectic day, in walks Logan. Logan is 5 years-old. He was on a mission and needed to talk to someone in charge.
Luckily (for me), I was on duty and I received a huge dose of inspiration!

We could talk all day, about what is right about young people, but we prefer they talk for themselves.
Thank you to student Veronica Bernier for the following essay:
Kim is back from vacation!
What makes a person spend hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars every year, re-purposing, repairing and giving hundreds of bicycles away to local children in-need?
Ask Kim Camara of Yesteryear Cyclery why he does it, the next time you see him!
Nicole Long, one of our earliest adopters wrote last week – “SO PROUD of my niece Abby and her cousin Georgia: over Christmas vacation they brainstormed a charitable organization called “GAB” and collected over $100 in one weekend to help people less fortunate. This morning, Abby gave me the money… (Which is being matched by their Grandmother Blair!) to deliver to GiftsToGive and I can’t think of a more beautiful start to a new year. Love these girls and their giant hearts.”
