Help Cradles to Crayons Gear up for Winter!

Partnering with Cradles to Crayons for our annual backpack drive, you know the great work they do supplying essential school supplies for kids living in poverty in our region.

 

But the needs are year-round. A Philadelphia winter brings below-freezing temperatures and puts children without adequate protection at risk for illness and injury. For thousands of local children living in poverty, staying warm is a struggle indoors and outside.

 

Each year, Cradles to Crayons’ Gear Up for Winter program distributes warm winter essentials to the families who need them most before the situation becomes an emergency. As the winter continues, demand grows and emergency orders will increase.

 

This year, Cradles to Crayons is severely low on winter items and they asked for our help!

Fox & Roach Charities has agreed to host a voluntary winter clothing drive for Cradles to Crayons, inviting our sales offices and employees to participate.

To help, here’s what you can do:


  • Review the attached FLYER for needed items and post in your office

  • Refer Cradles to Crayons WEBSITE for more information and for other ways to help

  • If you would like a collection box, contact Kassie Erb at 610- 722-7851 or by EMail to arrange for delivery

  • Collect items by the deadline of December 1st. Cradles to Crayons will be conducting a social media campaign letting everyone know your office is a drop off location!

  • We will arrange for a courier to pick up your donation once the drive is over.


Thank You!
