Clean for Kicks with ScrubaDub
We are excited to partner with our friends at ScrubaDub for the eighth year on Clean for Kicks, a program that aims to provide proper footwear to local children experiencing Clothing Insecurity. This partnership—running April 11 through April 28—supports Cradles to Crayons’ Spring Greening initiative, which promotes giving gently-used children’s clothing and footwear a second life through community donations while helping reduce waste.
Find out how you can donate in-person or online and receive FREE services from ScrubaDub!
