Domestic Violence Roundtable Is Collecting Valentine
Donations for Families Experiencing Domestic Violence

Each February, the Sudbury-Wayland-Lincoln Domestic Violence Roundtable
collects items for Valentine’s Day and fills gift bags for adults, teens, and children
served by local domestic violence programs. The Valentine Bags are decorated by
the children from Sudbury Extended Day.

Members of our local communities are cordially invited to participate in this
collection again this year. We welcome your donations, and we cordially invite
you to join us to help assemble the bags on February 3, 2026, at 3 PM at the
Sudbury Grange, 326 Concord Road, Sudbury, next to Sudbury Town Hall. Free
parking is available.

This is a great opportunity for civic organizations, workplaces, families, friends,
and neighbors to contribute to the Roundtable collection and to help us make
lives brighter for families affected by domestic violence. Small acts of kindness
like the gift bags let families know they are supported and these gestures brighten
their day.

Some examples of needed items are gift cards for CVS, Target, Market Basket, Gas
Cards, and Dunkin in denominations of $5 & $10. For adults, teens and tweens
some items could include full size bath products, socks, cosmetics, nail polish, hair
products, journals, gloves/mittens, boxed candy, wash cloths, underwear, scarves.
and small pouches that fit inside backpacks and purses. Items for children could
include playing cards, educational materials, small toys, small stuffed animals,
coloring books, underwear, socks and candy, crayons, pencils, markers, or
matchbox cars. All donated items should be new. Please keep in mind that the
gift bags will not hold larger items.

Donations may be left in the collection basket provided at Sudbury Wine and
Spirits in the Rugged Bear Plaza Road, 410 Boston Post Road, Sudbury. The 2026
collection will start on January 13th and end on January 30th. Thank you for your
consideration. For a complete list of suggested donations, please go to
