Holiday Gift Bag Project 2025
The holiday gift bags program has been a staple of Concord Prison Outreach for nearly 40 years, delivering a bag of simple, useful gifts of toiletries, writing materials, and a greeting card.
This year, CPO volunteers and community partners came together to assemble 3,500 holiday gift bags across seven locations: the Congregational Church of Littleton, First Parish Church of Groton, Newbury Court, First Parish of Sudbury and Acton, First Parish of Harvard, and for the first time, Northeastern University.
In the true spirit of our campaign, Leaving No One Behind, we were especially grateful to include 1,257 bags for the men at Souza Baranowski Correctional Center (SBCC). Last year, we were unable to provide gift bags to SBCC, making this year’s success all the more meaningful.
