The Tualatin High School functional skills program serves students with special needs and provides them with real life work opportunities. They are currently collecting bottles as part of a recycle program and want to use the money to start a community garden.
Our IB Diploma students are pairing with CommuniCare to give funds to local non-profits addressing areas of need in our community. Our mission statement is: The IB Diploma Communicare students at Tualatin High School will be granting money to organizations that address food insecurity within communities most affected by COVID-19 in the Portland Metro area. Food insecurity plagues many people throughout the United States, including Oregon and the Portland Metro area, every year, and the COVID-19 pandemic has only aggravated this issue. We aim to help these people whose food insecurities have been exaggerated by unemployment and progressive poverty. We hope to see improvement on food-related stressors in under-served communities, so food is one less problem that needs concern, allowing for families to live their best and most successful lives.
Clackamas River Basin Council is a 501(c)3 non-profit with focus on watershed stewardship for the Clackamas. The Clackamas is home to several legacy wild fish whose viability is threatened or endangered, including Coho, Spring and Fall Chinook, and Steelhead along with Bull Trout and Pacific Lamprey. The Clackamas is the source of drinking water for over 300,000 Oregonians -- 10% of our State's population! The Clackamas deserves our protections and stewardship!
