New York, NY -- (SBWire) -- 08/18/2017 --On July 26, associates from ImageFIRST Healthcare Laundry Specialists' Corporate Office volunteered with Cradles to Crayons in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Cradles to Crayons is a charitable organization with locations in Chicago, Boston, and Philadelphia that donates clothes, shoes, school supplies, and other necessities to children living in poverty. The purpose of this organization is to supply children in low-income situations with the items that they need to thrive in school, at home, and at play.

Cradles to Crayons connects with local volunteers to deliver essential items to children in need. They begin by collecting new and nearly new children's items at community drives. They then welcome volunteers to package and process these goods in their warehouse, The Giving Factory. From there, these items are distributed to disadvantaged children in the area through a collaborative network of diverse service partners.

ImageFIRST associates gathered at Cradles to Crayons' Philadelphia location to sort new and nearly new children's clothing. One of ImageFIRST's associates that volunteered at the warehouse stated in a thank you email, "There are over 300,000 children living in poverty in the Philadelphia area alone. The work we did yesterday helped supply some of those kids with the essentials they need."

Associates from ImageFIRST's Corporate office regularly participate in community giving events. Their recent work with Cradles to Crayons was one of the three planned for the summer. In June, associates volunteered at MANNA in Philadelphia and in August, they plan to volunteer with Habitat for Humanity in August.
