Event Details

You're invited to join a meaningful local effort — the Tools for Tomorrow Back to School Supply Drive, benefiting the Boys & Girls Club of Bend. 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.
