Babies may be tiny… but their diaper needs are BIG 😅🍼

That’s why new and unopened diapers and pull-ups are always some of our most-needed donations! From wiggles to waddles, every little change helps keep babies happy, comfy, and smiling.

Families joined us at the Giving Factory for our May Family Leadership Circle event: an afternoon of service, community, and fun.

They spent the first half of the day volunteering side by side to help sort, quality-check, and prepare essential items for children across our community. Then, we kicked off summer the best way we know how: with a karaoke dance party where kids (and adults!) showed off their favorite dancing shoes and songs. 🕺✨

We’re so grateful for the families who continue to make giving back a shared tradition.

The FLC is more than just a donation—it’s a way to build empathy, generosity, and a spirit of service in your children through fun, interactive experiences. Our events feature crafts, music, games, and meaningful conversations that kids remember.

For one mom of five, including a set of twins, support from the community made a meaningful difference:

“A mom of 5 had a set of twins and [could] use diapers and wipes along with a few twin outfit sets. This will help her support her new babies which will, in turn, help the other children in the family to get what they need as mom is able to put her budget towards other things.”
– Cradles to Crayons Service Partner, YMCA Families in Transition

Thanks to dedicated Service Partners like YMCA Families in Transition, and the generosity of our donors and volunteers, children can receive essentials like properly fitting clothing, shoes, diapers, backpacks, pajamas, and coats — helping them feel confident, cared for, and ready to thrive.

Together, we can continue turning compassion into action. 💙
