FY2018 Highlights Report April 1, 2017– March 31, 2018
CRADLES TO CRAYONS –NATIONAL
Dear Friends, Cradles to Crayons plays several important roles in communities where we are active; we are a nonprofit leader with a commitment to collaboration; a convener of generous and caring volunteers; and above all, we are a provider of free, critically needed clothing and personal items for children in need. Nationwide, more than 22 million children from birth through age 12 live in low-income households and are at risk for what we call “clothing insecurity”— being without reliable access to adequate, quality, properly fitting, seasonally appropriate, clean clothing. Similar to food and housing, clothing is a basic need that is necessary to sustain life. We respond to this major problem by providing customized “KidPacks” with clothing for a week, one child at a time. We depend on donated clothing and a volunteer workforce, and we distribute our packages through a network of more than 350 community partner organizations. Every day, we see the best of the human spirit in our Giving Factories as people of all ages and backgrounds turn compassion into action and volunteer together to help children. As a result, we have begun to call the amazing group of people who make our work possible an “Army of Empathy.” By making it convenient to donate funds and clothing and enjoyable to volunteer, we have ignited a powerful force for good. We hope you enjoy learning about a few highlights from the past year…in Boston, in Chicago, and in Philadelphia. With appreciation,

SINCE OPENING IN BOSTON IN 2002, WE HAVE SERVED 1.4 MILLION CHILDREN AND MORE THAN 365,000 VOLUNTEERS HAVE DONATED THEIR TIME AND ENERGY AT CRADLES TO CRAYONS. LATER WE EXPANDED TO PHILADELPHIA AND THEN TO CHICAGO. WE HAVE BEGUN TO CALL THE AMAZING GROUP OF SUPPORTERS AND VOLUNTEERS WHO MAKE OUR WORK POSSIBLE AN “ARMY OF EMPATHY.” VOLUNTEERS OF ALL AGES AND BACKGROUNDS TELL US ABOUT FINDING GENUINE MEANING IN THEIR EXPERIENCE AND IN SERVING OTHERS. CORPORATE VOLUNTEER TEAMS FEEL POSITIVE ABOUT SERVICE TOGETHER AND APPRECIATE THEIR EMPLOYER’S COMMITMENT TO THE COMMUNITY. PARENTS APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO TEACH THE IMPORTANCE OF VOLUNTEERING TO THEIR CHILDREN AND VALUE TIME SPENT DOING SOMETHING POSITIVE WITH THEM. COMMUNITY GROUPS DEVELOP A SPECIAL BOND OF SHARED SERVICE. YOUNG CHILDREN LEARN THAT THEY LIKE HELPING OTHER CHILDREN. TEENS AND COLLEGE STUDENTS LEARN MORE ABOUT THE WORLD AND FEEL EMPOWERED TO STRETCH THEIR WINGS IN A SUPPORTIVE ENVIRONMENT. RETIREES AND SENIORS ENJOY NEW OPPORTUNITIES TO USE THEIR SKILLS AND TO CONNECT WITH THEIR COMMUNITY IN A DIFFERENT WAY. Founder and CEO, Lynn Margherio, presents Building An Army Of Empathy at TEDx Beacon Street in November.

CRADLES TO CRAYONS –BOSTON
Dear Friends, Our Giving Factory was busy this past year—our 15th—and we are happy to share that, with the help of thousands of volunteers and supporters like you, we provided more than 145,000 backpacks, KidPacks with clothing for a week, and other essentials to children across Massachusetts who live in need and face the challenge of clothing insecurity. Each package made a tangible difference in the daily life of a child, enabling them to go to school, increasing their selfesteem, and letting them play with friends in any weather. We want to thank our amazing community-based partners and the teachers, social workers, and therapists who go the extra mile to put all kids first, one child at a time. Together, we are working to find new, collaborative solutions that will expand our impact and help children prosper. We look forward to seeing you at The Giving Factory this year! With great appreciation,
Lynn Margherio, Founder and CEO

Students in Worcester with their new backpacks
Gateway Cities Strategy Through our new initiative to increase services in targeted Gateway Cities in Massachusetts, we provided 2,300 backpacks for children in Holyoke, Lawrence, and Revere. We have also formed new partnerships with the Worcester and Holyoke Public School Districts to implement a pilot program to test the impact of a new, predictable service model for families in low-income and poverty situations.
Mobile Food Pantries
Student at Mobile Pantry
When Hurricane Maria forced thousands of families to relocate to Massachusetts from Puerto Rico last fall, supporters enabled us to provide 4,320 children with backpacks and winter essentials for these families who experienced their first winter in New England.
Our Mobile Pantry Program continues to grow and enables us to serve more children. In partnership with food banks and other feeding programs, we collect orders from families and then return to deliver KidPacks with one week’s worth of clothing and other everyday essentials directly to families. This past year, we partnered with five agencies and were able to serve a total of 9,894 clothing and food insecure children. This multi-site, one stop service initiative helps us connect with families who may not have known about Cradles to Crayons—while also allowing us to comprehensively serve some of the most vulnerable children in our community.

Cradles to Crayons not only builds hope but it restores faith in families. Many people cannot believe that there is a wonderful organization out there that loves to help others. Just by providing resources to families, Cradles to Crayons service partners are also mentoring and widening families’ horizons, their views of life, and their ability to give back to others.� –Partner, Greater Roslindale Medical Center
CRADLES TO CRAYONS – CHICAGO
Dear Friends, Kids across our city are getting ready for school with new school supplies, playing make-believe with favorite toys, and drifting off to sleep in NEW pajamas—because you believe in them. That is our mission: every child deserves the essentials needed to grow, learn, and thrive. An African proverb tells us it takes a village to raise a child. That rings true every time we sort clothing collected by a local group, combine it with books and toys donated by schools, businesses, and houses of worship, then give a finished KidPack to a social worker or teacher for a specific child. That’s how, together, we care for kids. As we celebrate nearly 44,000 kids served in our first full year in Chicago, we know there is still much to do. It will take all of us working together to serve more kids more effectively in more parts of the region. THANK YOU for all you do to support our mission. We look forward to another year of working together.

Ready for School Days of Action We launched our Ready for School Days of Action program as a way to engage our corporate supporters in meaningful service. With seven participating companies in its inaugural year, this initiative brought in hundreds of volunteers, our most needed items, and financial contributions to support our Ready for School initiative, helping to make an impact in the lives of Chicagoland children in need. Corporate volunteers clean and sort shoes during Ready for School Days of Action
THE RECENT KIDPACKS I RECEIVED WERE SOME OF THE BEST. THE KIDS I ORDER FOR DON’T HAVE MUCH—THEY HAVE TO STRUGGLE ALL YEAR TO GET ANYTHING. THEIR MOM CAN’T JUST GET THINGS FOR THEM. THEY DON’T HAVE NEW CLOTHES OR THINGS TO PLAY WITH. I DON’T KNOW HOW, BUT EACH KIDPACK HAD EXACTLY WHAT EACH CHILD WAS INTO. THEY CRIED WHEN THEY SAW THE BAGS IN FRONT OF THEM. THEY GOT SOMETHING NEW.
THEY GOT SOMETHING THEY NEVER HAD. AND IT WAS THEIRS. COATS, SHOES...A BOOK BAG THEY CAN ACTUALLY USE FOR SCHOOL INSTEAD OF A DRAWSTRING BAG. THEY’VE NEVER HAD SNOWBOOTS BEFORE. THE KIDS EXPRESSED GRATITUDE FOR ALL THE ITEMS. THE OLDER BROTHER WHO HELPS CARE FOR THEM WAS EVEN HAPPIER. THEY ALL SAID THANK YOU!”

CRADLES TO CRAYONS –PHILADELPHIA
Dear Friends,
Having completed our 10th year in Greater Philadelphia, we celebrate that, thanks to you, we have provided everyday essentials to more than 450,000 vulnerable children since we opened our Giving Factory. In addition, we have engaged over 120,000 volunteers from all walks of life in supporting our mission to provide children with what they need to thrive, play, and learn. Communities coming together to ensure that a child has the clothing, shoes, books, and school supplies they need is the core of what we do. Sadly, our services are desperately needed. While Philadelphia has an exciting first in football—Go Eagles—it also ranks first for having the highest rate of deep poverty among large cities in our nation. While you helped us reach more than 70,000 children last year, there are more than 300,000 children in our region who live in poverty. There is still much to be done and we look forward to another year of working together. THANK YOU!

10th anniversary at the Annual UnGala Preview Night and Family Day on November 10 and 11. Celebrating 450,000+ children served and 120,000+ volunteers engaged since we opened in 2007, more than 380 supporters gathered in The Giving Factory for two days of fun and raised enough funds to serve another 11,400 children to start our next decade of service.
I CANNOT TELL YOU THE EMOTION I FELT TODAY WHEN ONE FIRST GRADER GOT HER CRADLES TO CRAYONS PACKAGE! I OPENED THE BAG AND HER MOUTH DROPPED IN EXCITEMENT. SHE COVERED HER FACE IT WAS SO HARD TO BELIEVE. She loved every single thing the volunteers picked out. Her book bag—somehow out of true coincidence— had one of her favorite books that she gets at the library! The skort made her strike a pose. The flip-flops made her jump up and down for joy. Everything was a complete blessing. A year and a half ago her father was pulled from her life into incarceration. Her mother tried her best to find community housing and to be there for her, but less than two months ago she was also incarcerated. This little girl was going to be sent to live with other family members/church community, but her 20-year-old sister stepped in and said she would care for her. Together they are taking everything one day at a time. Thank so much for all that Cradles to Crayons does—watching a child's excitement over new books, skorts, and flip-flops is priceless and powerful!” –Partner, Catapult Learning—Gesu School
OUR MISSION is to provide 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. OUR VISION is that one day every child will have the essentials they need to feel safe, warm, ready to learn, and valued.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT.
