See how easy it is to help children living in poverty

We’re looking for high-quality new and like-new items you are able donate  for children newborn to age 12  to help stock The Giving Factory.

For You, They’re Extra Belongings

For a Child in Need, They’re Essentials

Cradles to Crayons accepts a wide range of donations of new and like-new items for children of all ages, from newborn to age 12. In our Giving Factory warehouses, 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.

Items We Accept

A seasonally appropriate coat. A pair of shoes that fit. School supplies and books. 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 donate — for children newborn through age 12. Help us stock The Giving Factory warehouse, either through your direct donations or by organizing a collection drive at home or at work.

Host A Drive

In households across your community, there are closets, drawers and shelves full of new or like-new children’s clothes and books 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.
