Mission
Founded in 2002, Cradles to Crayons (C2C) is an innovative Quincy-based organization that equips homeless and in-need children with the basic essentials they need to feel safe, warm, ready to learn and to thrive. While meeting the immediate needs of low-income children, C2C also sets a foundation for lasting change by providing meaningful, tangible volunteer opportunities to thousands of individuals and hundreds of organizations each year. C2C's unique business model provides an easy and convenient avenue through which everyday essentials in good and working condition can be recycled in a socially and environmentally responsible way. Since our founding, we have helped over 150,000 Massachusetts children with packages of goods that are hand-picked by caring volunteers to meet a child's specific needs.
