Amazing news! The Massachusetts state budget includes $200,000 for Cradles to Crayons Massachusetts to help us continue our fight against clothing insecurity.

This critical funding will help us fill inventory gaps and move closer to our goal of providing 427,000+ packages of clothing and essentials to local kids this year.

We’re incredibly grateful to Maura Healey and the legislature for investing in this important work. And a special thank-you to Marjorie Decker for championing our mission and submitting the earmark on our behalf! 💛

Together, we’re making sure more kids have the essentials they need to thrive.
