Dependable Cleaners Partners with Cradles to Crayons

Dependable Cleaners is proud to announce its continued support of Cradles to Crayons®, a nonprofit organization that equips children from birth through age 12 living in homeless or low-income situations with the essential items they need to thrive – at home, at school, and at play, for its annual winter initiative.

From November 18th through December 31st, 2017, 16 Dependable Cleaners locations will host in-store clothing collections to support Cradles to Crayons and its Gear Up for Winter program. The initiative aims to provide families and children across the Commonwealth with warm winter items necessary for the dropping temperatures and harsh winter season. This year’s program aims to reach 40,000 local children with coats, hats, gloves and other warm clothing needed to stay safe and healthy this winter. Dependable Cleaners customers can drop new or gently used clothing at collection bins accessible at each location. Dependable will gladly clean gently used items received.

We hope that our collections make an impact on local families this season.”
