2022 Distribution Update

Basics for Local Kids is ready for another season of offering winter-wear to kids
in western Wisconsin.

We served over 500 kids at the Fall distribution events
allowing kids to pick out their items and try on winter-wear for fit.

If you missed the distribution events, we will continue to fill online requests
as inventory allows.

     Kids that qualify:

  • Live in Pierce or St Croix County, Wisconsin

  • Age newborn through 18 years old

  • In need of winter-wear.

 

ONLINE REQUEST FORMS

 Inventory based on donations. We do our best but cannot guarantee availability of all items.

Winter-wear items available include new and gently used winter coats, boots, snow pants, hats, mittens/gloves, scarves, and new socks.

What is Basics for Local Kids?

Basics for Local Kids Inc. is a not-for-profit, 501c3, charity organization based out of Ellsworth, WI. Since 2010, we have been helping keep local kids warm during cold Wisconsin winters.

​

We believe that offering kids new/gently used, warm coats, snow pants, boots, hats, and gloves gives them an opportunity to endure the weather, stay active outside, and feel good about themselves with items that fit.
