Cradles to Crayons (C2C) is an innovative Quincy-based nonprofit organization that equips homeless and in-need children with the basic essentials they need to feel safe, warm, ready to learn and valued. While meeting the immediate needs of low-income children, C2C also sets a foundation for lasting change by providing meaningful, tangible volunteer opportunities to thousands of individuals and hundreds of organizations each year.


 * Service Opportunity:** Students can help to advertise, collect, and volunteer with Representative Murphy's office in their Weymouth Community Wide Collection efforts
 * If students are not able to put their efforts towards this community wide collection, they may host a collection of their own. They would decide what they are going to collect, select a time period and location for the collection. Students must also advertise their collection to maximize the potential for donations. When the collection is complete students should deliver the items to Cradles to Crayons.
 * A final option is to volunteer for 5 shifts (2 hours each) in our Giving Factory.

Special Considerations: Warehouse volunteers must wear closed toed shoes.
