A statement from Cradles to Crayons: A Lifelong Commitment to DEI

Everyday Essentials

When children lack basic essential items—shoes that fit, appropriate clothing, and school supplies—they miss out on having the same opportunities as their peers. And these are just some of the items a child living in poverty desperately needs. Through our year-round Everyday Essentials program, Cradles to Crayons is working to mitigate this need. 

By donating to support Everyday Essentials, you can help us provide clothing, shoes, coats, diapers, hygiene items, school supplies, and more, to children in need. Help us lighten the load for a caregiver who is struggling and make a real difference today!
