Keizer Community Foundation Is So Helpful!!

I am the school office specialist at Forest Ridge/OLE charter school. The wonderful people here have helped our school with our Kloset since around 2018. I appreciate all of them! A few times a year they bring lots of snacks to our school. Some of our stu… Keep Readingdents aren't able to bring a snack from home and they are very grateful we have snacks for them. When we need other things, I just send a text, and they are always very willing to help. We have needed pullups, leggings, sweatpants, underwear, etc. Whenever we have a need they are always there for us! Thank you Keizer Community Foundation!!
