We were thrilled to host 150 colleagues at our Chicago Giving Factory last week as a part of National Diaper Bank Network's annual U.S. Conference on Poverty and Basic Needs. Diaper bank and basic needs banks leaders from across the U.S. toured our Giving Factory and gathered in community to exchange ideas as a part of the conference theme: innovate, elevate, and thrive. Cradles to Crayons CEO and Founder Lynn Margherio reflected on the power of the network's collaboration as a manifestation of C2C's core value that "we are one, and we are stronger together." NDBN's Founder and CEO, Joanne Goldblum, congratulated Lynn on her upcoming transition and highlighted that Lynn's vision and C2C's founding demonstrates how even just one person can make significant change by spotting a need and doing something about it. Thank you to NDBN and all our member colleagues for an incredible evening and inspiring conference! Cradles to Crayons knows that when we work together, our local efforts build to ensure that one day, all children will have the clothing and essentials they need to thrive. #EndClothingInsecurity #CPBN24 #EndDiaperNeed
