In Massachusetts alone, more than 305,000 children live in low-income or poverty-stricken households. In any given year, more than 100,000 of them will experience homelessness. Since its founding in 2000, Cradles to Crayons has employed over 50,000 volunteers, worked with 335 agencies serving children and their families, and has personally served over 1,200,000 children.
