What: Cradles to Crayons is an organization that provides donated clothes to children in need. They make it simple for you to do something kind in your community! So please donate new or gently used children’s clothes today!
When: March 27- April 7
Where: Donation bins are located in Whitin Elementary School, McCloskey Middle School, and Uxbridge High School
Why: Although economy may be improving since the Great Recession, millions of Americans are still struggling to get by due to underemployment, stagnant wages, and higher cost of living. More than 305,000 Massachusetts children, 12 years old and younger, live in low-income or poverty-stricken households. In any given year, more than 100,000 of them will experience homelessness. Cradles to Crayons provides 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. We supply these items free of charge by engaging and connecting communities that have with communities that need.
