As  Portland area schools enter the back-to-school season, 14,233 students will return to find the supplies they need, instead of an empty desk.  This year, 28 local businesses have stepped up to sponsor the Schoolhouse Supplies Tools for Schools program, which provides students in need with a free backpack filled with school supplies to support an entire year of learning. The program partners local businesses with high-need schools, where over 65% of students live at or below the poverty line. See all 2012 schools & partners here.
