Join us for an extra special Community Drop-In with Everyday Deeds to benefit Haley House! Spread some holiday cheer by block printing festive gift wrap and bags to wrap wish list items for Haley House guests (and to bring home!). An alarming one-third of adults in Massachusetts face food insecurity and Haley House has been at the forefront of providing food, clothing and services for those in need in Boston. Everyday Deeds, a non-profit connecting volunteers and donors with community organizations through service events, will offer holiday wish list items for Haley House to wrap and donate or families can bring their own donated items to wrap.
Minni Community Drop-Ins are designed for the entire family to enjoy creative play and messy materials in our spacious studio. Rotating themed projects focus on open-ended play, material exploration, and a variety of art processes. Minni Community Drop-Ins are free or pay-what-you-can to give back to our community, one creative project at a time.
