University Community Service Center

Cradles to Crayons provides children from birth through age 12, living in homeless or low-income situations, with the essential items they need to thrive – at home, at school and at play. We supply these items free of charge by engaging and connecting communities.

Cradles to Crayons began with the vision of one individual who was determined to make a difference in the world. Today, the Cradles to Crayons volunteer community has grown to include thousands of young people and adults — working together to make a difference in the lives of children in need each year. Get involved as a volunteer at Cradles to Crayons. Whether you help out in The Giving Factory, or participate in other ways, you’ll become part of the spirit and energy that enables us to serve so many.

If you are interested in volunteering, please contact Ms. Crumpton at ecrumpton@cradlestocrayons.org.
