Stuff-a-Truck Dedham

The Home for Little Wanderers and WCVB-TV Channel 5 are joining forces to Stuff-a-Truck full of holiday gifts for children and families living in at-risk circumstances on Thursday, November 29, 2012. Local residents and businesses are being put to the challenge to help fill two Bernie & Phyl’s Furniture trucks with new, unwrapped toys for children in The Home’s care as part of the non-profit’s annual Big Wishes Gift Drive. Donations will be accepted at Stuff-a-Truck locations including Legacy Place in Dedham from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Over the past few years, many of The Home’s 600 employees have seen an increasing need for holiday assistance from clients who are served by the agency’s residential and community-based programs across Eastern Massachusetts. Many make holiday requests for essential items including personal hygiene products, coats, socks, linens, and gift cards from stores like Target, Stop & Shop and CVS. As an organization that touches more than 7,000 lives each year, The Home relies on generous assistance from donors and sponsors.

Every effort, no matter how small, will help a child or teenager in need.
