Looking For a Way to Give Back This Giving Season?

Help Cradles to Crayons keep our local kids safe and warm this winter by Giving Back with an Outfit Pack!

Winter presents a whole new set of challenges for many families in Massachusetts. From heating bills to rent, the costs add up. Cradles to Crayons is working with communities like yours to help make sure kids living in low income or homeless situations throughout Massachusetts have what they need to stay safe and warm this winter.

The Give Back with an Outfit Pack program is a fun, simple way for you and your family to help collect warm winter layers to prepare local children for another long New England winter. The Outfit Packs are part of a package Cradles to Crayons puts together for children that may also include books, toys, shoes, and cold weather essentials like a warm coat, boots, pants, a hat, and gloves.

Take your kids clothes shopping for a Cradles to Crayons Give Back With An Outfit Pack. They’ll be thrilled because they can pick out cute clothes, but they don’t have to try anything on.
