The Community Transitional School is trying desperately to collect enough school supplies for its community as the school year is about to begin. The Community Transitional School serves “the hidden homeless,” the students who live with their homeless and transient families through Multnomah County. The school is always striving to achieve its mission: To provide at-risk children with a stable educational environment that promotes their academic and personal growth.
If you are able to gather supplies, please deliver your donations to the barrel labeled “Positive Charge! for Community Transition School” at my office – Windermere Realty Trust, 6443 SW Beaverton-Hillsdale Hwy., Suite 100 M-F from 8-5:30 (closed on Labor Day), or contact me at Jon@JonCohenRealty.com or 503-720-9393 to arrange for pickup.
