Volunteer In Your Community

We Make It Incredibly Easy To Join In

In addition to volunteering at our signature initiatives and events, we offer a variety of regularly scheduled programs for volunteers of different ages, interests, and levels of availability. These include our Community Drives, Giving Corps Programs, Project 351, and Community Volunteer Days.
 

Hosting a Community Drive event is an enjoyable and productive way for supporters to see the Cradles to Crayons mission and model at work firsthand. The first step is to come together as a community to collect donations at multiple locations. Volunteers will then come together to sort, inspect, and organize the items at their school, faith-based facility, community center etc. — just as we would in our Giving Factory warehouse.
