I don't intend to let this topic get stale yet.
I've made some local phone calls. What I'm finding, is if you call the counselor of a local elementary school, they have a mental list, off the top of their head(not that they'll share or that I ask) of kids in need, who are slipping through the cracks....not completely on the system, but in need.
This time of year in the midwest, I'm told there is a big need for shoes, boots and coats, but mostly....snow pants.
You can buy a gift card from your local chain store, and the counselor can take the children and their parents to the store and fit them for the needed items, and take the remaining funds on the card back to the school for use with another kid(s).
