What We Do
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.

This is an idea that Portland people really get. We love our public schools, we want to support them, we love to recycle, and we care about our teachers.
I am so grateful for everyone who took the torch these many years and helped [the free store] grow and grow and grow, and for all of the people who have supported Schoolhouse Supplies and get excited about the mission. [We all] see how important it is that you can do something so meaningful for a kid just by making sure they have what they need every day.
