Brighton, MA – On March 2, Bowdoin participated in “Builders’ Day at Cradles to Crayons” in Brighton, where several organizations from engineering, architecture, and construction firms came together for networking and volunteering. Ten employees from Bowdoin Construction helped sort, size, and package goods to be placed in KidPacks for the children Cradles to Crayons serves.

For weeks before the event, Bowdoin held a product drive to collect clothing, toys, diapers, and hygiene products, and were able to donate a truckload of items to Cradles to Crayons.
