Holiday Gift Drive


  • Mary Rieke PTA 1405 Southwest Vermont Street Portland, OR, 97219 United States (map)

During this time of year, we ask the Rieke community to come together and help to make the holidays a special time for everyone. This year we have six to eight Rieke families who would like some help to brighten their holidays.

Ways to participate:

  • Buy a gift card. We want parents to be able to buy clothes in the right size, style, and color preference for their children! 

  • Purchase a gift. Choose from a variety of gift items for children and adult family members. 

  • Purchase gift wrapping paper. We would like to provide each family with two rolls of holiday/winter themed gift wrap. 


How the process works:

  • Grab a tag from the display at dropoff or pickup from school and go shopping for the gifts or gift cards. You can also claim a gift online—you will still need to go buy the gift and bring it to Rieke.

  • Return the unwrapped gifts and gift cards to the office by dropoff time on the morning of Monday, December 12. Please attach the bulletin board tag or a note indicating the family letter & what the gift is when you return your gifts/gift cards. 

  • If you don’t have time to purchase an item but would like to donate, an item can be purchased on your behalf. Please leave your donation in the office, and let them know that it’s for the gift drive (cash in an envelope or a check to Rieke PTA with Holiday Gift Drive in the memo line).

Thank you for your generosity!
