Our Philadelphia Backpack-A-Thon at the Lincoln Financial Field is just one week away, so we wanted to take a moment to remind everyone why we do this work. Half of all children in Philadelphia are at risk of Clothing Insecurity. That means half of all children go to school unsure if they are prepared for the next day.

At Cradles to Crayons, we believe all children should have the essentials to go to school feeling confident and cared for. 💜🎒 If you want to join us in the fight to End Clothing Insecurity, check how you can get involved on our website: https://www.cradlestocrayons.org/philadelphia/take-action/donate-goods/find-local-drop-off/ or at the link in our bio!
