This past fall we piloted a new service called "Schoolhouse Supplies Online".  The basic idea is to provide an online tool for parents to purchase school supplies for their children.  What makes this tool special is that all of the specifics are handled through an amazing nonprofit here in Portland called Schoolhouse Supplies.

Schoolhouse Supplies is a seven-year old Portland organization providing free school supplies to local area schools.  Teachers visit the free store and "shop" for items they need for their classroom.  The supplies are donated by businesses, or purchased by Schoolhouse Supplies through donated funds.
