Help a Child Get Ready for School — From Head to Toe!
For families in need, the pressure of providing a back to school outfit can put a strain on this important part of a child’s educational experience. Cradles to Crayons and Hannah Andersson have teamed up to provide these kids with a high-quality outfit for the first day of school. Our Back to School Outfit initiative lets you, your family, friends, and colleagues go shopping for clothing that will prepare a child in need from head to toe for the new school year. Your donation will help ensure that all children have the clothing essentials they need to kick off the new year feeling confident and ready to learn.
