How It Makes A Difference
Through Giving Factory at Home, you are helping Cradles to Crayons in two ways. First, you are helping C2C collect much needed clothing essentials to combat the issue of clothing insecurity. Secondly, you are helping move donations along in our Giving Factory by pre-quality checking and sorting.
Instructions
Source your donations: Time to take to your closets or your community and collect clothing. Sort your donations: Start by quality checking your donations following https://cradlestocrayons.box.com/s/soq2vqcc955ngcry1gqf5rfxy7f3j11fthis guide. Any donations that do not meet our quality standard, we recommend donating to another organization of your choosing or recycling through a textile recycling program. Drop off your donations: Bring your quality donations to the Giving Factory or any of our https://www.cradlestocrayons.org/boston/take-action/donate-goods/find-local-drop-off/drop off locations. Bonus: Celebrate! You just helped Cradles to Crayons mitigate clothing insecurity right here in Massachusetts! Don't forget to give yourself a pat on the back and share your experience with us and others by posting your efforts on social media and tagging us @c2cboston.
