Join TWN and volunteer at Cradles to Crayons Giving Factory to help process and package donations. There are more than 300,000 children living in poverty across the Philadelphia region. Cradles to Crayons works 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.” They collect new and like-new goods such as clothing, shoes, art supplies, books and hygiene items that are appropriate for use by children ages newborn to 12.
Volunteers are encouraged to bring one or more items to donate. You can read the donation guidelines here. All volunteers must be at least 5 years old. Any child under the age of 18 needs an adult present with them for the entire shift.
There is a free public parking lot directly in front of the Giving Factory.
