Fall New 2024 🍂
As students and teachers shift from the back-to-school season to homecoming and school carnivals, we wanted to pause and say thank you to everyone who volunteered and donated to start the school year off right. Read on for highlights and to see what an impact you’ve made!
The Free Store for Teachers Open for Shopping
In just the first month of school, hundreds of classroom teachers from 85 of our partner schools visited the Free Store for Teachers, filled their carts, and brought supplies back to their students. Under-served kids all across Multnomah County have awesome new school supplies and their teachers didn’t have to pay for them.

I wouldn't be able to be the teacher I am without the help from Schoolhouse Supplies. My students have been able to do so may hands-on experiments and activities thanks to Schoolhouse Supplies.

Tools for Schools Means Back-to-School Success
Every student at our Tools for Schools partner schools started this school year with the excitement of a kit full of brand new school supplies and a backpack. Thank you to our partners and their employee volunteers for rolling up your sleeves and packing 10,000 school supply kits! It’s been a great school year already!

The KGW School Supply Drive Brings Community Together
Students in 78 school districts benefited from this year’s KGW School Supply Drive. This massive effort is thanks to thousands of individuals and businesses who donated school supplies or made a financial contribution. A special thank you to our volunteers and generous sponsors who made this year’s supply drive not only successful, but really fun, too!

Thank you to everyone who helped this summer during the Tools for Schools packing event to get supplies directly into the hands of children all throughout Multnomah County, to all the donations that helped fuel the 2024 supply drive, and of course, to all those who helped get the Free Store for Teachers filled with supplies so teachers get start the school year with what they need. Schoolhouse supplies wouldn’t be the same without you!!
