Northwestern IT Gives Back
Cradles to Crayons
On Wednesday, November 20, Northwestern IT colleagues volunteered at Cradles to Crayons for an afternoon shift sorting donations. Multiple Northwestern IT locations also donated clothing items for the cause. Cradles to Crayons works directly to fight children's clothing insecurity and focuses on raising awareness about this urgent crisis nationally. Since 2002, the organization has supplied nearly six million packages of bare essentials like clothing, shoes, diapers, and school supplies to children who don't have access to these critical resources.
