2025 Back to School Drive supporting Erie Neighborhood House

Access to basic school supplies can make a significant difference in a child’s confidence, classroom participation, and long-term academic success. Many of the students we serve at Erie Neighborhood House come from under resourced communities where purchasing new backpacks and supplies is not always possible. By helping us meet these needs, you’re setting students up for a strong start to the school year.
This fundraiser also supports our annual back-to-school block parties in Little Village and West Town. These are community centered events where families pick up supplies and connect with neighbors, staff, and resources. These gatherings reflect our mission to promote just and inclusive communities by ensuring every child feels supported, and ready to thrive. With your help, we can provide hundreds of students with the tools they need to succeed both in and out of the classroom.
