KIDS READ. KIDS PAINT. KIDS LEARN. KIDS COUNT.
TOGETHER WE HELP THEM
Schoolhouse Supplies connects members of the community with students in over 130 schools throughout the Portland Public School district. We take private and corporate donations of all kinds - from basics like pencils and paper to books, backpacks, and folders - and put them in the hands of students.
KGW SCHOOL SUPPLY DRIVE
Throughout the month of August, the KGW School Supply Drive encourages viewers to make cash and loose supply donations, with the purpose of sending 5,000 local area children back to school with the basic school supplies that they couldn’t otherwise afford.
OnPoint Community Credit Union President & CEO Rob Stuart presented a check of support for $5,000 to Schoolhouse Supplies Executive Director Gayle Kellman on Monday, August 16.
Great example of another way businesses can support our local teachers and students! To find out more about how your business can get involved, call 503-249-9933
