Tacoma Public Schools Snack Drive - October 15 to 23, 2024!

Thank you for supporting students in Tacoma Public Schools. We are looking for shelf-stable donations that are portable and can be easily heated or managed. High protein items are great as they keep the kids going longer.

If items are in cans, please ensure they are pop-tops as we cannot ensure the availability of can openers. 

Where to drop or send donations

You can drop-off or send donations at any of the following locations between October 15 and October 23, 2024. Monetary donations will be accepted - one of us will coordinate a Costco run at the end of the drive. Not local or out of town during the drive? Show us proof of donation to the TPS Donors Choose campaign and McCoy Kids will provide a 10% discount code for a future purchase in exchange
