MORE ABOUT CRADLES TO CRAYONS

Cradles to Crayons is a non-profit that collects new and gently used children's
items and distributes them, free of charge, to Massachusetts's neediest
children. New and gently used clothes, toys, books and baby equipment are
collected for newborns to age 12, through local schools, churches, and
organizations that run "drives."

They distribute weekly to over 100 Child Service Agencies, such as Rosie's
Place, Boston Medical Center, Children's Hospital, MSPCC, Jewish Family
Services, DPH, DSS, MGH, Caritas Good Samaritan Hospital Center in Brockton,
Catholic Charities Refugee Resettlement Program, Project Hope, Shattuck
Shelters, South Shore Visiting Nurses, United Homes for Children, USO, Woman's
Violence Prevention Project, and dozens of community health centers, and Head
Start/Early Learning Programs.

Hundreds of volunteers, every month, meet at the Cradles to Crayons warehouse,
where they sort and organize the thousands of pounds of donated items to get
them ready for the flip side of this unique recycling program. Make an
immediate and real difference. Help a child-in-need.
