Action News was there as volunteers and staff from both organizations loaded up cars.
Cradles to Crayons provides essential items for homeless or low-income children.
"Philadelphia has the highest rate of deep poverty in the nation and a family living only on $11,000 a year, $70-80 a month for a child for diapers which isn't covered by food stamps is a very expensive item," Cradles to Crayons Executive Director Michal Smith told Action News.
