Share the spirit of giving this holiday season.
It’s often said that holiday spirit stems not from what you get, but what you give—and we couldn’t agree more. That’s why we invite you to start off the season by supporting our friends at Cradles to Crayons®. Join us at the nonprofit’s Giving Factory, located in Logan Square, to help sort and package supplies for local kids in need.

About Cradles to Crayons®
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. They supply these items free of charge by engaging and connecting communities that have with communities that need.

In Illinois, 1 in 4 children under age 5 lives in poverty. More than 197,000 of those children call Chicago home — and each deserves a warm coat for winter and a backpack for the first day of school.

Agenda
5 PM to 5:30 PM – Snacks, drinks and celebrating the holidays with old and new friends.
5:30 PM to 7:30 PM – Sort and Package
7:30 PM to 8 PM – More snacks!

Ticket Pricing
There’s no charge for this event, but we appreciate donations for Cradles to Crayons.
