Solving Crises Before They Become Catastrophes
The Crittenton Cupboard Campaign stocks our virtual pantry with basic necessities and emergency funding to help our girls and their families when they need it most.
98% of Crittenton girls live in economically challenged communities. Over the years, when they had nowhere else to turn, we’ve stepped in, providing computers for school, safe rides home, feminine products, and school uniforms. During the pandemic, we supported our girls’ families with groceries, car repairs, funeral expenses, and in rare cases, rent. Our aim is to prevent unanticipated financial hardships from snowballing into insurmountable challenges.
Crittenton launched the Cupboard Campaign last year to ensure we had the resources to meet the varied needs of our girls and their families. A small committee of Crittenton champions mobilized their networks, raising more than $7,000 in the Cupboard’s inaugural year. Crittenton CEO and President, Siobhan Davenport, describes its impact:
“This past year I was able to grant all the emergency funding requests that came in. From a management perspective, the Cupboard has made us more efficient, more effective, and better prepared for the unexpected. From the perspective of our girls and their families, the Cupboard has been a lifeline that helped them through some of their darkest times and greatest challenges.”

HELP US FILL THE CRITTENTON CUPBOARD WITH A GIFT OF $125 OR MORE!
WHY $125?
This is the cost of period products for a girl for a year. It’s also the necessity Crittenton Girls request the most. Without access to these supplies, our girls struggle to fully participate in school and community life.
GOAL: $15,000 MINIMUM
STRETCH: $20,000
STATUS: $8,875
