Boston
Cradles to Crayons has a special mission, and meets a critical need.
According to Horizons for Homeless Children, each year, there are more than 100,000 Massachusetts children under 18 who experience poverty. And on any given night, over 1,200 families will be staying in publicly funded family shelters in Massachusetts.
But statistics don’t get to the heart of what we do. We help kids in need: kids who don’t have shoes that fit, or a coat warm enough to fend off winter winds, or a backpack to take their books to and from school. When young kids don’t get access to these basics, they have a hard time learning. They have a hard time feeling loved, protected, and valued.
With your help, we can change that.
