The Evanston School Children’s Clothing Association (ESCCA) provides school clothing for all Evanston/Skokie District 65 K-8th grade school children in need. Each year ESCA provides a full wardrobe of clothing and shoes to 500-600 children. Its clothing assistance services are performed efficiently and discreetly and always keep the dignity of the families in mind.
DONATIONS OF WINTER OUTERWEAR ARE NEEDED! ESCA needs warm jackets, coats and snowpants in all sizes. Its inventory in large sizes, especially 14-18, is especially low. Please consider donating gently used coats and snowpants. Drop off at a District 65 school or at the ESCCA bin behind Dist. 65 administration building, 1500 McDaniel, Evanston.
