Federal Way – Communities In Schools of Federal Way and Red Canoe Credit Union are partnering to collect school supplies for low-income students in Federal Way Public Schools.
From July 27th through August 14th, Red Canoe Credit Union will be collecting school supplies in a 14 foot canoe in the lobby of their Pacific Highway Branch in Federal Way. Red Canoe Credit Union will then match pound-for-pound new school supplies.
“This is a great way to leverage resources from the community,” said Tracy Oster, Executive Director of CIS of Federal Way. “By partnering with Red Canoe Credit Union, and collecting their matching donations, we can serve more students and help more families.”
The Federal Way Community can help by donating supplies, volunteering to sort supplies and stuff backpacks or collecting supplies at a business location. Supplies can be dropped off between July 27 and August 14th at the Red Canoe Pacific Highway Branch (map), 8:30 am-5:30pm Monday-Friday.
