Chicago groups collecting winter clothes donations for migrants

• Young volunteers will sort the donations and deliver them to shelters in early November.

State of play: The nonprofit teaches Chicago youth lessons in STEAM, soft skills and homework habits, but it also stresses community service.

What they're saying: "As you get older, you realize that there's so much joy in what you can give and not just what you get," Aluka tells Axios. "It's just transforming."

Zoom out: Other local organizations collecting winter gear for migrants include Cradles to Crayons, with several drop-off locations across Chicago, and New Life Centers.

• The city also encourages donations through its Amazon wish list.
