Last month, Four Rivers Family Early Learning & Parenting Hub staff members and The Dalles Lions Club members joined efforts to fill over 75 backpacks with school supplies for local children entering Kindergarten this fall.

For a decade local volunteers have been reaching out to D21 students with offerings of food to help them during the weekend and better prepare them for school come Monday morning. It’s a well-oiled machine and one that The Dalles can point to with pride. Learn about some of the people that make it happen.
