A statement from Cradles to Crayons: A Lifelong Commitment to DEI

Fiscal Year 2025 Highlights Report

As we reflect on the past fiscal year (April 1, 2024 – March 31, 2025), one thing is clear: our community showed up in a big way. Thanks to your unwavering support, Cradles to Crayons was able to meet growing needs across Massachusetts and provide essential items to thousands of children.

We distributed essentials to help children thrive every day, no matter the season, and we increased our presence across the state, with more community donation bins to reach more supporters. This impact and growth are a direct result of what happens when a community believes in showing up for one another.
