Cradles to Crayons
Cradles to Crayons (C2C) is a non-profit organization that provides homeless and low-income children living in Boston, Massachusetts, and in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania with the essentials they require to thrive - to feel safe, warm, ready to learn, and valued.
==History==
Founder and CEO Lynn Margherio saw the opportunity for Cradles to Crayons while visiting her family over the holidays in 2001. She noticed her nieces’ and nephews’ toys and clothes piled high in the playroom and closets at her brother’s house; these items were in perfectly good condition, but were no longer being used. From these and similar experiences, C2C was shaped by a vision that existing community resources could be leveraged to benefit economically disadvantaged children, bridging the gap between those who have too much and those who do not have enough. In 2002, Cradles to Crayons officially opened its doors in Quincy, Massachusetts, and after five successful years providing critically needed items to local disadvantaged children, the Cradles to Crayons model was replicated to help children in Philadelphia, PA. In 2011, we relocated our Massachusetts Giving Factory to a larger space in Brighton with the goal of doubling our impact over the next three to five years. C2C’s unique business model provides an avenue through which children’s products in good and working condition can be recycled in a socially and environmentally responsible way.
Among communities across Massachusetts, C2C is looked to as a leader in the non-profit sector. In 2011, Cradles to Crayons was acknowledged as an innovative grassroots leader and recognized with the “Partnership of the Year” award from the Boston Business Journal for our work with Staples, and received the prestigious Neighborhood Builder Award from Bank of America. In that same year, C2C was honored to be chosen by Massachusetts Governor, Deval Patrick, to host his inaugural Project 351 event, a day of public service with 8th Grade representatives from each of Massachusetts’ 351 cities and towns. This year C2C was honored to serve again as a site for Project 351. Deval Patrick led a day of community service in the warehouse with hundreds of high schools students from Massachusetts.
