Hours and Directions
The AB Resource Center is open Monday through Thursday 10am till 3pm.
It is located in the school's Admin Building, at 15 Charter Road, Acton MA 01720. We are behind the big glass wall in front of the entrance. You can also take the free Acton CAT bus, which stops at the old Kmart parking lot (across the street from the AB School campus) at 1:40pm, 2:35pm and 3:40pm (find info on the CAT here and schedule here), or the $1/ride Boxborough MART bus which stops at the Admin Building from 8:09am to 6:09pm every hour (see schedule here).
The donation bin is the big grey metal bin with AB Resource Center logo at the circle at the Admin Building against the wall of the gym. The white donation bin with AB Schools logo is for clothing and shoes for recycling / donation to other countries - you can put in anything that the AB Resource Center can't use (too low quality or not on the list of things we need).
A Partnership with Acton-Boxborough United Way
AB Schools have partnered with Acton-Boxborough United Way to bring this Center to our families and community. Acton-Boxborough United Way's connections with dozens of local organizations span over 40 years. Together, we're proud to launch this new Resource Center, working to ensure that every resident has access to the resources they need to thrive.
