Book Drive for Multicultural Children’s Books Did you know? More than 15 percent of children in the United States live in poverty. On average, these kids have only one or two age-appropriate books in their homes. Sixty-one percent of the children in low-income families have no books at all. School Supply Drive The School Supply Drive provides a complete set of new school supplies to children and families. Next Door is pleased to accept donations of any and all school supplies, plus funds to help low-income families buy school clothes for their children. Winter Clothing Drive Collect winter clothes for preschoolers in our program. We are in need of winter coats, boots, hats, mittens, socks, thermal underwear, sweaters, and snow pants in sizes 12 months to 6X. As we know winters in Wisconsin can be brutal, but if you're a child without warm clothing it can be dangerous. This clothing drive takes place every December through March.
