About The Crayon Initiative
The Crayon Initiative is a 501(c)3 non-profit that brings the joy of bright new crayons to kids in children's hospitals across the US. 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. Donate here.
