AUGUST 30, 2018 BOSTON, MA—From June 28 through Aug. 19, all Jordan’s Furniture store locations and the Taunton Distribution Center collected new and like-new clothing and shoes in support of Cradles to Crayons’ Ready for School program, which provides local low-income and homeless children with the essential items needed for a successful school year.
Thanks to the generosity of customers, the Jordan’s Furniture donation will help more than 3,000 local children start their school year prepared and dressed for success, from head to toe. A delivery of the donation from Jordan’s Furniture to the Cradles to Crayons Giving Factory took place, along with a $500 check presented from Jordan’s to Cradles to Crayons. The Giving Factory is located at 155 N. Beacon St., Brighton.
Cradles to Crayons is committed to the belief that “quality equals dignity,” ensuring all distributed essentials meet high quality standards so kids will feel comfortable with their peers and can focus on learning. Volunteers at the Cradles to Crayons Giving Factory help sort, inspect, and assemble donations into individually tailored KidPacks that go directly to local children ages birth to 12 years old through Cradles to Crayons’ network more than 130 service partners — agencies such as MSPCC, Horizons for Homeless Children, Head Start Programs and more. This latest donation from Jordan’s Furniture marks the sixth year of this integral partnership, which has helped more than 16,000 children to date.
