GETTING SUPPLIES TO STUDENTS

Our programs and partnerships enable us to put much-needed supplies into the hands of Portland-area students. See how you can help us achieve our mission by partnering with us for any of the progams below.

SUPPLY DRIVE

HOST A SUPPLY DRIVE

When you host a supply drive, you ensure that more students will have brand new supplies during the school year. Companies of all sizes help keep our inventory of supplies at a consistent level so teachers can shop for what they need. Our largest drive of the year are the KGW School Supply Drive (Month of August).
