Give a Little to School Children
We are committed to supporting students in Yamhill County who are from low-income families or experiencing homelessness.
We work directly with school contact people—administrators, counselors, and teachers—who are responsible for identifying specific needs of individual students.

This is how a local 4th grader came to school in the morning.

This is how he left in the afternoon. He was literally walking on air. |
Just a few of the hygiene kits we provide for homeless and many other students. The cloth bags were sewn and donated by members of the Gone to Pieces Quilt Guild in McMinnville.
Thank you so much for supporting Washer families in all the ways you do. The resources you provide make a huge difference to children with needs. Not only will the hygiene bags help kids be clean and healthy but also feel special and valued. Counselor, Wascher Elementary School
Thank you again for the deliveries last week. Clothing, jackets, shoes, umbrellas, We have made some students very happy. Counselor, Duniway Middle School
