On November 30th, the CREW Boston Community Involvement Committee (CIC) hosted the fifth annual Holiday Shop for a Cause event to benefit the Elizabeth Stone House (ESH), an organization that serves homeless and at-risk families and individuals who have experienced domestic violence, substance abuse, and mental illness. CREW attendees and their guests enjoyed delicious appetizers and drinks while shopping the wares of vendors with a treasure trove of goods for the mind, body and soul, including unique jewelry, handmade knits, delicious treats and art! Most importantly, the event raised $1,800 for ESH, which will be used for ESH’s summer camp program for the children they served. Nancy Hess, Executive Director for the Elizabeth Stone House spoke to offer attendees insightful background on the organization’s mission and the significant impact these funds will have on the children that it serves. The funds raised by the event will send kids to camp next year! ESH was thrilled by the generosity and continued support of CREW Boston and its members.
A special thank you to the vendors, attendees, and volunteers involved in making this such a successful event! In particular, CREW Boston would like to thank Barbara Oddo of Lincoln Property Group who graciously provided the Conference Center at 53 State Street where vendors offered their wares and Pam Messenger for offering validated parking at The Garage at Post Office Square.
