It's the most wonderful time of year to support our friends and neighbors in need! The Brookline Rotary Club and Brookline Chamber of Commerce are proud to partner once again with the Brookline Center for Community Mental Health this holiday season to provide gifts for 50 children and families.
Let Brookline Rotary do the shopping for you! As the Center compiles their wish list of items, consider making a monetary donation. Brookline Rotarians will then do the shopping for you. Donations can be made by Venmo @BrooklineRotary-MA (no transaction fee) OR to Rotary's Charitable Fund (www.brooklinerotary.org, then scroll down to "Donate to Charitable Fund"). Please include the note "Holiday Gift Drive" when completing your donation.
Prefer to do the shopping? Check back here soon and often for updated wish list items. All gifts must be delivered unwrapped to the Brookline Center for Community Mental Health, 41 Garrison Rd, no later than Friday, December 5, 2025. Please label your gift(s) "Rotary Holiday Gift Drive"with the corresponding identification number, per the wish list.
Thank you for helping make the holidays brighter for some of Brookline's most vulnerable neighbors. Your generosity truly makes a difference!
Any questions, please email Kim Kushner (kushnerk@gmail.com). |

We will be using felt blanket making materials donated by Joyce Graff to make blankets that we will donate to Project Linus. Project Linus is run by volunteers in locally run chapters that distribute blankets to hospitals, shelters, social service agencies, organizations or individually to any child that may be in need of the comfort a blankie can bring. We support all kids from premature infant to older teens. Today there are hundreds of Project Linus chapters across all 50 Unites States, providing a creative community service outlet to thousands of volunteers, and providing comfort to thousands of children. The Greater Boston Project Linus consists of several volunteers that give their time and energy to support children in the Greater Boston area. We also get involved in supplying blankets to other locations when disaster strikes. This includes sending blankets to families that have experienced floods and fires and no longer have a safe place to live. Details, location and Zoom link will be sent to Members and those on our mailing list. If you would like to attend and are not on our mailing list, please email brooklinerotary@gmail.com or contact Candace Cramer by clicking on her name at the left.
