HELP #ENDCLOTHINGINSECURITY!

Cradles to Crayons defines Clothing Insecurity as the lack of access to
affordable, appropriate clothing—and we’re on a mission to
#EndClothingInsecurity for the 20 million kids across the U.S. who need our
support. Join us in the movement so that one day all children will have the
clothing and essentials they need for a safe and healthy childhood.
DONATE NOW!


DIRECT TO A CHILD, WITH LOVE.

Giving Factory Direct easily matches you with a child in our communities so you
can donate high-quality, gently used clothing from the comfort of your own home.

more for distribution throughout the year to hundreds of thousands of kids in
the communities we serve. We do it in a way that is highly efficient and
accountable. That’s why Charity Navigator has recognized us as a Four-Star
Charity for 13 years and counting.

WE FILL A CRITICAL YET OVERLOOKED NEED.

More than 20 million children in the United States do not have the clothing and
basic essentials they need for healthy childhood development. Families
struggling to pay for rent and groceries often cannot afford anything else.
Basic items for their children—properly fitting outfits for school, diapers, a
backpack, shoes, pajamas, a coat for cold weather—are simply not possible.
Cradles to Crayons’ mission and model enable our volunteers and donors to turn
compassion into action and provide the essential items that children in
struggling families need to thrive at school, to participate more fully in life,
to just be a kid.

WE’RE MAKING A TANGIBLE DIFFERENCE

 




WE’RE MAKING A DIFFERENCE IN CHILDREN’S LIVES.

Cradles to Crayons was founded on the philosophy that unused resources should be
redistributed to the places they are needed most. With Quality = Dignity as a
cornerstone value, Cradles to Crayons invites you to look in closets, drawers,
and shelves at home for new and like-new clothing, shoes, books, and toys that
have been outgrown or replaced by a new favorite. By donating them to us, you
can help to change the lives of children in need—across the country, and right
here at home. Read more about our impact >


IN THE NEWS

We host special events and activities throughout the year in our Giving
Factories and in local communities to enable community groups, families, and
businesses to support our mission and help neighbors in need.
