Basic Needs Food Drive

 

Please join us in making a difference by participating in our Basic Needs Drive. We’re collecting essential items for the North Thurston Public Schools (NTPS) Family & Youth Resource Center (FYRCor FYR Center), a crucial support system for NTPS families and students facing hardships.

Did you know? Over 900 students in our district are experiencing homelessness, and nearly half of our students qualify for Free or Reduced lunch. These numbers highlight the pressing need to ensure every student has access to the basic necessities to thrive at school. We’re currently seeking donations of full-size hygiene and cleaning supplies, including:

  • Shampoo
  • Conditioner

  • Sanitary Pads
  • Dish Soap
