Help us prepare orders of essential items for our partners to pick up free of charge!
A partner order specialist volunteer is responsible for being the first point of contact for agencies who have scheduled a pick-up of the order they have placed with Cradles to Crayons.

- Informing the partner that they can also browse and select items from the "partner shelf", which is stocked with various essential items not found in the typical core product offerings at C2C.
- "Shopping" for our partner orders - preparing items for pickup by our partners.
- This job requires standing, bending, and lifting up to 20 pounds.

About Cradles to Crayons
Location:
2500 W Bradley Place, Chicago, IL 60618, US
Mission Statement
Cradles to Crayons (C2C), founded in 2002, provides children from birth through age 12, living in homeless or low-income situations, with the essential items they need to thrive--at home, at school, and at play. We supply clothing, shoes, diapers, school supplies, and more, free of charge. Our vision is that one day all children will have the essentials they need to thrive.
Description
Two in 5 kids in the United States are currently facing Clothing Insecurity, going without basic essentials like pants, shoes, diapers, and school supplies during their critical development years. Three of the top 10 reasons kids miss school are rooted in Clothing Insecurity-just one example of the significant short- and long-term social and economic costs when these needs go unmet. Cradles to Crayons keeps Clothing Insecurity at the core of our mission and is the only large-scale nonprofit organization to focus on this resource gap. Since its founding, Cradles to Crayons has distributed more than three million customized packages of essentials to children in Massachusetts, Greater Philadelphia, Chicagoland, and nationally, through Giving Factory Direct-a first-in-kind online product donation platform launched in 2021.
Volunteers help to quality check, sort, and organize donations of essential items - such as clothing, shoes, books, school supplies, winter accessories, hygiene items, and more. We welcome volunteers as young as 5 years old with a parent/guardian to volunteer.
