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”?

Rising Tide Students Reflect a Bright and Shining Light!

When people ask us why we do the work we do. We talk about the children we meet every day.
Today we met teens from the Rising Tide School in Plymouth. They sorted through a ton of children’s clothes and enabled us to help dozens of local children who don’t have warm clothing.
Rather than us talking, we wanted you to hear what student Anna Smith had to say:
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.”
