My name is Alexandra Orsino and I am a part time employee in the Nazzaro Center’s after school youth program. I would like to announce a clothing drive the center will be hosting beginning next week.. From December 8 through December 16 the center will be holding a children’s “Gently Used/New Coat Drive” to benefit the local Boston charity “Cradles to Crayons“. With winter coming, many children in Boston are going without coats due to poverty, preventing them from being warm. Coats of all children’s sizes can be dropped off anytime 9 am-9 pm at the Nazzaro Center and also on Saturday December 16th from 10 am-4 pm when the Nazzaro Small Fry Basketball League is in full operation. So clean out your closets and help the less fortunate this winter. If you have any questions or have any ideas, please contact me either through the Nazzaro or through my personal e-mail aforsino@gmail.com.
