CeltiCare is excited to welcome Cradles to Crayons to Brighton!  As some of you may know, Cradles to Crayons is a nonprofit organization that provides homeless and in-need children with the basic essentials they need to feel safe, warm, ready to learn and valued.  We have found Brighton to be a welcoming and giving community and know that Cradles to Crayons will have a similar experience.

The organization’s new headquarters, which made its official move to its 37,000 square foot location in Brighton on January 17^th, will allow the nonprofit to expand its Giving Factory where they sort the clothing and supplies that are donated by partners and individuals and then sorted and packaged by dedicated volunteers.  In 2010, Cradles to Crayons delivered 50,000 packages to children in Massachusetts and the organization hopes to double that number over the next three to five years in this new space.

Last year CeltiCare held a clothing and school supply drive for Cradles to Crayons.  Our generous employees donated winter coats that were then donated to children in need.  We will share additional details on future collections at CeltiCare headquarters in 2011, but if you are interested in additional information on Cradles to Crayons please visit their website at http://boston.cradlestocrayons.org/ or check them out on Twitter at http://twitter.com/c2cboston and Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/c2cboston.
