How you help
About us

Billions of crayons are produced in the U.S. each year, and much of that ends up in our landfills. These petroleum-derived crayons can take years – even decades- to decompose. Meanwhile, U.S. teachers in underfunded public schools are spending an average of $750 of their own income per year on supplies for their classrooms. Our solution – pairing participating Crayon Collection restaurants with local high-poverty Title1 schools. Each school then receives our free, artist inpired, Art Education Curriculum, where crayons are the main tool for deep learning.
