DONATE

Hi! This is not a real non-profit to help find school supplies for kids, so you can’t donate to us. Since you can't donate to us, here are some you can donate to if you like this cause.

• Kids in need Foundation
• Kids In Need Foundation helps create equitable learning spaces through the distribution of supplies and resources, investing in teachers and students in underserved schools. Promoting equity in schools is an invaluable social investment that gives children a deeper perspective and knowledge about the world around them and empowers them to make wise decisions for their future.
• Volunteers Of America, Operation backpack
• Operation Backpack® is VOA’s initiative to fill in the gap for children experiencing homelessness, poverty, and otherwise underprivileged circumstances. Your donations will help us provide backpacks, school supplies, and funding for academic enrichment to unhoused and underprivileged children. Together, we can help ensure these children achieve success despite their circumstances. In 2024, Volunteers of America distributed close to 45,000 backpacks. Thank you for giving second chances and brighter futures for the next generation.
• Schoolhouse supplies
• Since opening our doors in 1999, the Schoolhouse Supplies mission remains the same: to promote educational equity in Portland area public schools by providing free school supplies to under-resourced students and classrooms. We do this because we believe that every child has the right to a quality education. Our ultimate goal is to ensure that every child has access to learning tools that allow them to achieve academic success, regardless of their family’s income or racial/ethnic identity. Our program delivery model achieves additional goals through community engagement and by keeping supplies out of the waste stream.

Donate backpacks

YOU can give your own backpacks new or slightly used. YOU can also donate new school supplies so kids can have both a backpack and pencils. Some suggested school supplies are pencils, pencil cases, colored pencils and markers
