How You Can Help

It takes a village to support our district's students. Please consider donating to one of the following local resources to assist families in need:

  • Nonperishable Food Donations
    You can drop off nonperishable food items at:

    • Gig Harbor Chamber of Commerce: 3125 Judson Street, Gig Harbor (Weekdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.)

    • These donations will be distributed to local food banks, including Food Backpacks 4 Kids and the Fish Food Bank.

  • Baby Formula Donations
