The Cradle supports parents and children with essential items that help meet their everyday needs, from infant care supplies to children’s books and toys. You can help by purchasing these much-needed items through our Amazon Wishlist and have them sent directly to The Cradle (attn: Connie Herron, 2049 Ridge Avenue, Evanston, IL 60201).
Your contribution ensures that families in our programs have what they need to feel supported.
Please note: We are unable to accept used items, including car seats, clothing, blankets and accessories, and open packages of diapers.
Bring joy to Cradle birth parents and their families over the holiday season! Each year, donations to our Holiday Gift Program go directly to Cradle birth parents in the form of gift cards, which helps them buy gifts and make the season special for their children.
For more information about these opportunities, please contact The Cradle’s development office at cradlefoundation@cradle.org or 847-733-3227.
