MarketStreet Lynnfield recently launched The Give Warmth Project, a new donation effort founded by a North Reading high school student, that provides warm clothing to those in need.
The Give Warmth Project’s mission is to collect public donations of new warm winter necessities with a focus on jackets, hats, gloves, socks and mittens. Through the end of March, donated items can be conveniently placed in a specially branded Give Warmth Project clothing bin located on The Green at MarketStreet Lynnfield.
The items are then donated to the local Boys and Girls Clubs of Stoneham and Wakefield, which will distribute the warm clothing to area youths in need.

With a first-hand understanding of life with a Traumatic Brain Injury, Meredith Casey organized a campaign to deliver gifts to children who will wake up in the hospital on Christmas Day.
Casey, a Freshman at North Reading High School, suffered a life-changing brain injury five years ago. She since created a non-profit, the Mighty Meredith Project, dedicated to raising awareness about Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI) and helping others with a message of kindness at the heart of her organization.
The motto: Be Kind, It’s Good For the Mind.
Many of this year s fundraising events for the Mighty Meredith Project were cancelled due to the pandemic, but that didn’t stop her from spreading kindness.
