Thank you to everyone who came out for our volunteer day at the Cradles to Crayons Giving Factory today! It was a great day, and we accomplished a lot. Splitting in half, one group of twelve went “shopping,” with a list per child. They filled their shopping carts with the clothes, supplies, toys, and more requested for the child and wrapped them up. Overall, this group made a total of 88 packages! The other half of the group went to “outfits,” to put together the clothes packs that later stock the shelves and go into future shopping carts. They would be assigned a child’s gender and age and have to fill a clothes pack of so many outfits, pajamas, sweaters, socks, accessories, underwear, and other needed items. Each of these was a lot of work, going through the piles and coordinating outfits (especially with the fact that they kept running out of different clothing items). Overall, this group made and stocked shelves with 18 new clothes packs! That brought our total at the Giving Factory to 106 children helped. Great job everybody!
