Join TWN and volunteer at Cradle to Crayons Giving Factory to help process and package donations. More than 300,000 children live in poverty across the Philadelphia region. Cradle to Crayons works to “provide children 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 appropriate for use by children ages newborn to 12.
We encourage volunteers to bring one or more items to donate, like clothing, shoes, art supplies and books. You can read the donation guidelines for more suggestions. All volunteers must be at least 5 years old. Any child under 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.
