This holiday season, Cradles to Crayons® Chicago (C2C®) is working to collect 50,000 winter coats for kids across Chicagoland through our “Gear Up for Winter” initiative. In addition to coats, we’re also accepting donations of hats, gloves, scarves, boots and other warm clothing in all sizes—from infants to adults—to help families in need stay warm this winter. Through February 2025, people can donate coats and winter essentials at C2C’s North Center Giving Factory or at 40+ participating locations throughout Chicagoland. Items can also be purchased through C2C’s Amazon Wish List, and monetary donations can be made online. Learn more about how to support C2C at cradlestocrayons.org/chicago.
