School Supplies for Kids (age 12+) *MLK 2012*
Be one of 2,100 volunteers honoring the legacy of Dr. King through meaningful service to communities throughout the Greater Portland area.
Support local classrooms!
Did you know that on average, public school teachers spend $1,700 from their own pockets to purchase supplies for their classrooms or for students whose parents cannot afford to purchase school supplies?
Schoolhouse Supplies collects new and used supplies (from pencils, paper and crayons to staplers, puzzles and art supplies) to stock a unique store for Portland Public School teachers – where everything is free! The Free Store for Teachers program touches the lives of thousands of children in need and helps teachers create an exceptional learning environment for all students.
At the Free Store our volunteer needs change from month to month and week to week. Possible projects include: sorting and shelving donated books or supplies, assembling materials for mailings or special projects, cleaning and organizing the Free Store or helping staff with another immediate need.
