A Race to the Finish for Homeless Teens

Employees from Barco Medical Imaging collected 50 each of 15 different items from toothbrushes and shampoo to new socks and underwear - enough to create 50 Basic Needs Kits to benefit the teens served through Outside In. 

They used a race cars to track the donations, and when they reached their goal, they packed the bags and brought them to Outside In.  It was fun for employees and it filled a great need in our community. 

Working Together Last summer volunteers packed and delivered over 1,000 backpacks filled with school supplies to students at DA Grout Elementary School in SE Portland and King Elementary School in NE Portland. These volunteer events were part of an Education Initiative put together by EFNW for its member companies. Collectively, member companies raised more than $10,000 to purchase the backpacks and supplies and donated 680 volunteer hours. Small businesses working together can make a big difference!
