For the fifth consecutive year, CIS of Puyallup is partnering with Red Canoe Credit Union to host the “Fill the Canoe” school supply drive from August 4-22. In addition to several convenient drop-off locations throughout Puyallup, Red Canoe will have a large display in their lobby at 165th and Meridian for the public to fill with much needed items. Red Canoe will then match these donations pound-for-pound for an even bigger impact.
Last year our community donated 3,741 pounds of supplies, allowing us to distribute backpacks and school supplies to school counselors at every school in the district – all 32 of them!
Once again this year, we need your help to reach our goal of 3,500 pounds. You can:
Donate supplies: this summer, click here for a complete list of drop off locations and high-need items.
Host your own Fill the Canoe supply drive: collect 30 pounds or more to qualify for on-site pickup at your business by the Red Canoe mobile, complete with photo opportunity and post event PR benefits.
Volunteer to sort supplies and stuff backpacks.
