Help to “Cover” Portland’s Homeless
Blanket and Tarp Drive

Riverdale Grade School
November 8th – November 12th

Dear Riverdale Parents, Teachers, and Students,
As students in the Leadership elective, there are
many things we hope to accomplish for our school
and community. We’ve chosen to devote our time to 4
organizations throughout this trimester that need our
help. Our second organization we have chosen to
support is St. Francis Dining Hall, a non-denominational
nonprofit agency that provides meals and clean clothes
to Portland’s homeless. The group of student leaders
in charge of this project have contacted the Hall and
found out, because of the season, rather than canned
food they are in desperate need of blankets and
tarps. Starting November 8th Riverdale Grade School
will begin collecting the above items. We are asking
everyone to bring in any new or used blankets or tarps.
There will be donation bins in all classroom breakout
areas and also in the Grade school’s entrance.

We thank you very much for your time,
The Leadership Elective
