Opportunity Details
School Supplies for Kids (age 12+) *Hands On*
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. Our monthly Hands On volunteer groups are integral to helping us with a wide variety of tasks, from sorting and shelving donated books or supplies, to assembling materials for mailings or special projects, cleaning and organizing the Free Store, and helping staff with other immediate needs. Join us!
Schoolhouse Supplies is located in the basement of Madison Highschool, on NE 82nd Ave. just north of I-84.
