Don’t Just Spring Clean, Spring Green!
Our Spring Greening initiative highlights C2C’s commitment to serving people and the planet
Donate Gently Used Clothing
With 1 in 2 children in Chicago at risk of experiencing clothing insecurity, we need the community’s help to make sure we can provide children with the essentials they need to thrive.
This April, do some spring cleaning and give your clothes a new life! Donate at a drop-off location near you or visit one of our Spring Greening collection drives to help us provide 240,000 packages of critical essentials to kids this year.
Spring Greening Volunteer Shifts
Volunteer with us at the Giving Factory April-May! Volunteers will sort through our Spring Greening donations for quality – no rips, stains, or tears! We have shifts Tuesdays-Fridays: 10 AM-12 PM and 1:30 PM – 3:30 PM, with up to 50 people per shift.
Shifts are filling up fast! For more information or to sign up to volunteer please email mkuhn@cradlestocrayons.org or rturner@cradlestocrayons.org.
