Little Red Schoolhouse Project School Supply Drive
An event every week that begins at 12:00 am on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, repeating until July 31, 2026
Little Red Schoolhouse Project is committed to providing school supplies and backpacks to low income families so that children in Thurston County can begin the school year with basic necessities and have a successful school year.
Can you imagine deciding between food and heat for your family or a backpack, notebook
or crayons for your child to go back to school? Each year some parents face exactly these choices. For students who are already struggling, having basic school supplies and clean, decent clothing can make a HUGE difference! Our vision is to send kids back to school with pride!
