Cradles to Crayons accepts a wide range of donations of new and like-new items for children of all ages. In our Giving Factory warehouse, we then hand-select items to create and distribute packages for specific kids. Here are two ways you can help:

• • • Go through your closets, attic, basement, and/or garage to find new or like-new children’s items to donate.
    • Host a product collection drive at your home, school, workplace, place of worship, or in your community. Click the appropriate link below to learn more.

Host A Drive

In households across your community, there are closets, drawers, and shelves full of new or like-new children’s clothes that are not being used. By hosting a product collection drive for Cradles to Crayons, either in-house or out in the community, you help get these items to kids who desperately need them.

Items We Accept

A seasonally appropriate coat. A pair of shoes that fit. Brand new school supplies. These are just some of the items a child living in poverty desperately needs. We’re looking for high-quality new and like-new items you are able to donate. Help us stock The Giving Factory warehouse, either through your direct donations or by organizing a collection drive at home or at work.
