Klarquist Sparkman continues to support the community by providing low-income school children with the necessary school supplies each fall.  Klarquist Sparkman participated in Portland’s Schoolhouse Supplies’ “Tools for Schools” sponsorship program.  Schoolhouse Supplies is a local not-for-profit organization that supports school children and teachers throughout the year.  Klarquist Sparkman “adopted” Sitton Elementary School in North Portland, enabling Schoolhouse Supplies to purchase and supply over 300 backpacks each full of school supplies - a year’s worth of supplies for every student in the school.  Klarquist Sparkman was one of 19 sponsors this year who participated in purchasing, packing and distributing backpacks with school supplies for children in low-income neighborhoods and communities.  Together, these sponsors collected and distributed $50,000 in school supplies.
