Schoolhouse Supplies is a Portland-based nonprofit founded in 1999 by a local parent to support public education by providing free school supplies to students in need. The organization relies on community generosity—donations of time, money, and goods, plus partnerships with local businesses—to convert support into tangible resources for schools. Its programs include the Free Store for Teachers and the Tools for Schools backpack initiative, and it serves students in more than 75 school districts across Oregon and SW Washington, with a preference for Title 1 schools.

The organization emphasizes broad community involvement, noting substantial volunteer hours and thousands of individual donors supporting its work. A notable recent development is a partnership with KGW Media Group announced in 2023 to help students get ready for the new school year. Based in Portland, Oregon, the organization operates with a small-to-mid-sized staff and maintains information online at its website, https://schoolhousesupplies.org.
