Cradles to Crayons
Cradles to Crayons provides children from birth through age 12 living in homeless or low-income situations with the essential items they need to thrive. They collect and distribute items such as clothing, shoes, books, toys, and school supplies, with the goal of positively impacting the lives of children in need.
Toys for Tots
The Marine Toys for Tots Program collects new, unwrapped toys to distribute to less fortunate children at Christmas. Join us in making a difference by participating in our Toys for Tots toy drive. Stay tuned for updates on when we'll begin accepting donations at both of our locations.

Our on-going support
We are proud of our long-time commitment to benefiting kids in need through Cradles to Crayons. Through donations of funds and clothing, we're doing our part to help provide local families with essential items they need. In 2020, our team contributed to the Cradles to Crayons Emergency Essentials Fund.
Getting involved
Community involvement at Focus Real Estate means really getting involved with an organization and giving back in every way we can. We visited the Cradles to Crayons Giving Factory to really understand their mission and see first-hand the good work that this organization does.
First-hand experience
In 2018, Erik and Randal chatted with Karen Grant, VP of Development for Cradles to Crayons, to learn more about Cradles to Crayons' mission and needs.
