There are many ways for student and community groups to partner with Cradles to Crayons. Groups help us work toward our mission of providing each child with the essentials they need to thrive- to feel safe, warm, ready to learn, and valued. We help students learn the importance of service and how they can play a role in supporting local children in-need.

Volunteer opportunities available:

• Wednesday - Friday 10:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m., 1:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m.

Please note: we require that you host a product collection prior to your visit. This is a rewarding way to engage students in our mission and model from start to finish. Visit our Host a Drive page for tips and ideas. If you forsee this requirement to be a hardship for your group, please indicate this in your inquiry. Click here for more information about donation guidelines.
