Portland, OR, July 27, 2026 —
As the new school year draws near, FOX 12 Portland has announced a partnership with CVS and DonorsChoose to launch a significant teacher supply drive aimed at bolstering local classrooms. The initiative seeks to address the ongoing challenge many educators face: funding essential classroom materials out of their own pockets.
Teachers nationwide, and particularly in the local Portland area, frequently spend personal funds on a wide array of items crucial for student learning and well-being. These expenditures can encompass everything from academic resources, such as materials for STEM projects, to basic necessities like blankets and hygiene products that ensure students have a comfortable and supportive learning environment.
The partnership with DonorsChoose, a well-known crowdfunding platform for teachers, provides a direct channel for community members to contribute. Individuals interested in supporting local educators can visit the dedicated donation page at donorschoose.org/fox12. On this platform, donors have the opportunity to browse and select specific projects proposed by teachers in their community, allowing them to directly impact the resources available to students.
This collaborative effort between FOX 12 Portland, CVS, and DonorsChoose highlights the community’s commitment to supporting educational initiatives and ensuring that teachers have the necessary resources to provide quality education.
