Everyday Essentials Allow Kids to Just Be Kids
When children lack basic essential items—a pair of shoes that fit, appropriate clothing, school supplies, and books—they miss out on having the same opportunities as their peers. And these are just some of the items a child living in poverty desperately needs. Through our year-round Everyday Essentials program, Cradles to Crayons is working to mitigate this need.
By donating to support Everyday Essentials, you can help us provide clothing, shoes, coats, diapers, hygiene items, school supplies, and more, to children in need. Help us lighten the load for a caregiver who is struggling and make a real difference today!
Amazon Wish List
Shop our Amazon Wish List, and help us provide high-quality essentials to local children in need! Our Amazon Wish List is updated monthly and features items we have the greatest need for in The Giving Factory. To simplify the process, you can even select to ship the items directly to us.
