North Portland PTA Alliance – Family Resilience & Emergency Support Fund

Families across North and Northeast Portland are navigating unprecedented challenges—from rising costs and food insecurity to the loss of critical public and nonprofit funding that once supported basic needs. In response, PTAs from multiple schools have come together to form the North Portland PTA Alliance, a shared effort to ensure families are not left to face hardship alone.

Public schools are more than places of learning—they are anchors of safety, connection, and care. When families are under strain, our school communities feel it. This fund exists so we can respond together, quickly and compassionately, when families need support the most.
