Ready for Learning
Whether schooling takes place in the classroom among peers, in scheduled virtual lessons, or somewhere in between, kids will always need supplies to feel empowered and ready to learn.
Our Ready for Learning initiative ensures that thousands of children will have everything they need to feel ready to learn by distributing critical items – like backpacks and school supplies – through our network of Service Partners.
Emergency Essentials Fund
Our community partners are turning to Cradles to Crayons with urgent needs for new diapers, school and art supplies, hygiene items, and other essentials. In response to COVID-19 relief, we established the Emergency Essentials Fund to provide these items to the children who need them to survive this crisis—while also knowing that vulnerable families are going to need our services more than ever in the coming months.
The Emergency Essentials Fund allows us to leverage our logistics expertise and bulk purchasing power and serve thousands of families in need. Please make a gift today to help us ensure that the children we serve are safe and healthy.
