Bring Holiday Joy to Families of
People Impacted by Incarceration
This holiday season, the Exoneree Network, a program of the New England Innocence Project, is partnering with YardTime to make the season brighter for the kids of those who have been impacted by the long-term incarceration of a parent or loved one. YardTime is an organization that supports returning citizens by addressing their mental health needs and facilitating their successful reentry.
Please join us as we collect new, unwrapped toys for children in our community in time for the holidays. Donations will be accepted from December 1 through December 19. Together, we can fill this season with hope, joy, and love.
How can you get involved?
