By Michelle Maestas, Publisher/Editor May 17, 2019

The next school year will be here before you know it and school supplies add up. Thurston County will be giving away free supplies for your child.  Make sure you mark your calendar and get ready!


Distribution Day  August 15th, 2019 8:00am-6:00pm

The Little Red Schoolhouse Project is having their annual distribution day and giving away free backpacks and school supplies(specific to the child's school list) to those in need for Thurston County residents.  They will also have clothing for kids and free immunizations.  You will receive a number with a time for admission.  Each child will be able to choose a backpack that will be filled with school supplies and a gently used or new coat, socks, and underwear.  You should plan on being at the event for a good period of time.  You will not have to present any verification for financial need.  

Various local agencies that help families will have booths outside the commons with information on their programs. They will have referral information to help you with other issues, ex. rent, medical bills, etc. You may need to contact the Thurston-Mason Counties Crisis Clinic at 360-586-2800 for information and assistance.
