CRADLES TO CRAYONS
Many families are having a rough go of it during the Covid-19 Virus. Some have lost their job, and some are on unemployment, while some have reduced work hours. Here at CFCE, we often depend on the Cradles to Crayons program to help families with clothing and necessities for their children. If you are one of those families, click the link below to complete a Cradles to Crayons application for clothing. Cradles is currently closed due to COVID-19, so please be patient.
