Mitzvah Opportunity

From Cradles to Crayons^®: At Cradles to Crayons, we imagine a world where no child worries about having the clothes they need. Where warmth, comfort, and dignity are a given, not a privilege. This time of year, children's need for our services is especially urgent. For children waiting for the bus, walking to school, or playing outside without proper winter gear, the cold is more than just uncomfortable—it can affect their health and well-being. A warm, weatherproof coat can be a lifeline, yet is unattainable for too many families. That’s where you come in. When you support Cradles to Crayons this season, you'll help us reach our goal of distributing 20,000 winter coats to keep local kids safe and warm. Plus, your dollar goes further with us: a gift of only $15 can provide a child with a brand-new winter coat that has a suggested retail price several times higher than we pay. You can donate money here. If you would like to drop off a coat, there will be boxes at AJ's Early Learning Center entrance or you can find a list of drop-off locations here.
