Life Sciences Day

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, school and play. Cradles to Crayons supplies these items free of charge by engaging and connecting communities.

Their vision is that one day every child will have the essentials they need to feel safe, warm, ready to learn and valued.

The opportunity:

Life Science Cares is joining with Cradles to Crayons on Friday, October 30, to hold a Life Science Day in Philadelphia and Boston to bring our collective effort model to support children's needs in both geographic locations.

Life Sciences Day in Boston will include several components which you or your organization can join:
In-person volunteering: the Giving Factory warehouse is now open for small teams (20 people or less - down from up to 100 people) and has COVID procedures in place
"Clean out your closets”: C2C is accepting donations of gently used children’s clothing, coats, shoes, boots, and books - we need to identify "drop off" points as the traditional "in office drive" model does not work with employees working remotely.
Online wish list: employees or companies may purchase new items to be donated to C2C

Please take a minute to share information about how you or your organization would like to get involved, and we will be in touch with you soon!
