About 2025 Back to School Drive

Help ensure that every child in our community starts the school year prepared. Erie Neighborhood House is collecting backpacks and school supplies for students in our Little Village and West Town programs. You can contribute by purchasing items from our Amazon wishlist, which will ship directly to Erie House, or by making a monetary donation on this page. Donations will go toward buying supplies and supporting our back-to-school block parties, where families pick up materials and enjoy activities, food, and community celebration.


In 2024 we were able to: 

  • ​Serve over 1000 community members in West Town and Little Village 
  • Host over 60 community partners across both block parties
  • Provide over 700 bookbags with supplies to our students

    Help Us Equip Students for a Successful School Year

    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.


    Thank you for your support!
