Help ensure the students of JOIN families have the tools they need to succeed! At our celebratory Back to School event, we’ll distribute backpacks and school supplies to youth from JOIN families who are homeless or recently homeless. Last year, we gave away 70 backpacks filled with supplies to 32 families and we hope to serve even more kiddos this year! With your support, we can help students be prepared for a great year of learning.
Drop off any school supplies, like those below, to JOIN Monday-Friday between 11-3pm by August 14th. For more information or to schedule a drop off time outside of those hours, please contact Callie at ccaroll@joinpdx.org or at 503-701-3027. Thank you for helping eager minds start off the school year right!
