Smith discussed how Cradles to Crayons works to provide children from birth to age 12, living in low-income and homeless situations, with the essential items they need to thrive at home, at school and at play. Smith said it all gets done by the generosity of thousands of volunteers, which she called an inspiration.“Everyone, no matter how modest your means, everyone has the desire and capacity to give back and help in some way,” said Smith.
BetterWorldians Radio co-host Ray Hansell said, “Cradles to Crayons is a lean, efficient organization that makes every dollar count while providing kids with the things they need for a happy life. That’s why we were proud to make Cradles to Crayons our charity partner for the month of May in our game on Facebook, A Better World. Our players completed 500,000 good deeds within the game and so we are donating funds to provide 100 children with backpacks full of clothes and books.”
