PEMCO School Supply Drive

PEMCO Mutual Insurance is hosting its annual “Supply Surge” school supply drive, from now to August 6, to support homeless and underserved students in the Pacific Northwest. The goal of the drive is to help close the opportunity gap for these students by making sure they start the school year with the necessary supplies. Since 2018, Supply Surge has rallied donors and organizations to collect more than 455,000 individual classroom supplies for students. The Supply Surge team currently includes 37 community-focused organizations such as Seattle Cancer Care Alliance, Vulcan, Seattle Children's Research Institute, Sellen Construction, MoPOP, Pacific Science Center, Bristol Myers Squibb and Starbucks, as well as many other South Lake Union businesses.

As part of PEMCO's Mutual Good program, the PEMCO Foundation will match donations dollar-for-dollar for every donation made between August 4 and August 6, up to $5,000 in total. Donations from the Supply Surge will benefit 13 middle and high schools in Seattle, Lynnwood, Spokane and Portland that have high homeless student populations.
