We do this by recycling and remanufacturing old crayons that would otherwise go to landfills. Our hospital partners tell us kids often take our crayons home—as a happy memory of an otherwise uncertain time. If social distancing made your family stir-crazy, just think of kids stuck in hospitals. **A $25 donation, the cost of one hospital shipment, sends crayons and smiles to 200 pediatric patients**.
