OnPoint Community Credit Union, the largest credit union in Oregon, will host a supply drive celebration and school supply collection event to support the 2011 KGW School Supply Drive. The annual Supply Drive collects pencils, paper, crayons and other needed supplies for Schoolhouse Supplies-a local nonprofit organization that serves local classrooms in need by operating a volunteer-run Free Store for Teachers.

"Our partnership with Schoolhouse Supplies is a special way to honor our roots in education while ensuring that local students have the tools they need to succeed in the classroom." Each of the 16 OnPoint branches in the Portland and Eugene metro areas will act as a collection site for donations now through September 3.
