Gear Up for Winter
Help Keep Children Warm This Winter
What is the Gear Up for Winter initiative?
Two in 5 children across the United States are at risk of Clothing Insecurity and without access to winter essentials—that’s 20+ million children. Cradles to Crayons’ Gear Up for Winter initiative distributes warm coats and other essentials to families who need them most before harsh weather conditions become an emergency. These items are distributed to children at no cost through our network of Service Partners in Massachusetts, Chicagoland, Greater Philadelphia, New York City, and San Francisco.
Support for our Gear Up for Winter initiative ensures children stay warm and safe all winter long!
Clothing Insecurity for children during the cold winter months means that without warm coats, appropriate clothing, and boots, children are excluded from outdoor recess at school, missing important physical exercise and playtime with peers.
87% of our Service Partners report that without Cradles to Crayons, they would not be able to provide basic children’s essentials at no cost to the families they work with.
Give the gift of warmth.
All children deserve to have the essentials they need to stay warm and safe, whether they are at home, at school, or at play. Yet for more than 20 million kids across the country, they do not have appropriate winter gear and their safety is at risk during the harsh winter months. Donate today to help us provide the essentials children need this winter.
