The ODE said 1,522 students within the Beaverton School District are homeless. To put that into perspective, that’s the equivalent of nearly the entire student body of Southridge High school.

To help local families who are experiencing difficult times, Sunset Credit Union is teaming up with Family Promise of Beaverton and their Third Annual Drive In-Sleep Out Fundraising event. The goal is to pack 200 parking spots with ‘car-camping adventurers’ to raise funds and awareness about child and family homelessness in Beaverton.

The staff at Sunset Credit Union is taking donations to help Family Promise of Beaverton. If you’d like to help, send an email to them at cuteam@sspfcu.com or give them a call at (503) 643-1335 to make your tax-deductible donation today. All funds will go directly to Family Promise of Beaverton to help families experiencing homelessness. If you’d like to take part in the event or to learn more about the Drive In-Sleep Out Fundraising event, visit www.familypromiseofbeaverton.org.
