Central Oregon: Back to School Supply Drive

You're invited to join a meaningful local effort — supporting the Salvation Army's Back to School Supply Drive. Together, we can help ensure that students in Central Oregon start the school year equipped and confident.

We’re collecting new school supplies — and we’d love for your residents, staff, industry suppliers, and community to join us in supporting local kids and families.

Here’s how your community can get involved:

• Host a Collection Bin: Place a drop-off station in your leasing office or clubhouse to gather donations from residents, staff, and vendors.
• Promote the Drive: Share the drive details in newsletters, emails, bulletin boards, and mail centers. (See attached flyers and email templates.)
• Post on Social Media: Help spread the word online! Use the sample caption and image included.
