About the Event
Join us in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, with Lehigh in Action!
Come together with fellow members of the Lehigh community to support Cradles to Crayons. During this hands-on service event, volunteers will help sort donated items, quality-check items, and package donations for Cradles to Crayons.
Cradles to Crayons serves children from birth through age 12 who live in homeless or low-income situations. The organization provides essential items children need to thrive at home, at school, and at play. They supply these free of charge by engaging and connecting communities. Their vision is that every child will have the essentials they need to feel safe, warm, ready to learn, and valued.
Sign up today, and make a meaningful impact in your community!
