A Mission Rooted in Real Impact
Founded by Alysia Stern in 2019, Cans & Crayons was built on a simple belief:
✔ No child should go hungry
✔ No child should be without the tools to create
Because when a child is nourished, they can focus.
And when they have creative tools, they can dream.

More Than Donations
We are not just giving food. We are not just giving crayons.
We are giving children the ability to:
✔ Eat
✔ Create
✔ Imagine
✔ Believe in something bigger

A Living, Moving Mission
We partner with local businesses to host pop-up donation events where the community can easily give.
✔ Each month, a different local charity receives the donations
✔ They reach families who need help right now
✔ It keeps the mission active, responsive, and deeply connected


No child should go hungry. No dream should go unseen.
