PBH donates the gifts to several organizations including the YMCA of Cambridge, the Mission Hill Task Force, The Action for Boston Community Development (ABCD), and Sociedad Latina. Nicole d’Avis, director of education and health at Sociedad Latina, said that the gifts the group receives from Harvard are some of the best. “They give us some really great toys, a lot of educational toys that...
