In December, 12 CREW Boston members toured the Elizabeth Stone House’s (ESH) current location at 8 Notre Dame Street in Roxbury. The Community Involvement Committee (CIC) organized this site visit given the Stone House is its chosen charity for the 2015/2016 year. The tour was of the current ESH location where they have their cramped offices, common area library and living room, and childcare space along with 11 residential apartments (these are a mix of 3 and 4 bedrooms which house many different sized families which leads to the occasionally coupling up of 2 families in an apartment).
This year CREW Boston members donated and wrapped presents for 17 families including 24 children. The wrapping party was held on Wednesday, December 9th at the offices of Colliers International and provided CREW Boston members a way to give back to the community and those less fortunate, as well as network with fellow CREW Boston members during the holiday season.
