Planting Seeds Thanks You for all Your Support
Dedicated Dreamers
Since January of 2017, Planting Seeds has been supporting Beaverton children through drives and service learning projects. Our mission is to help people understand the power they have to change lives for the better. Made up of moms, retirees, and doers, we are committed to creating positive change one child and one action at a time.
We closed our nonprofit in the summer of 2026 after raising over $100,000 to support refugees, asylum-seekers, and other disadvantaged Beaverton families.

What We Did
Our Work
The volunteers of Planting Seeds partner with counselors, social workers, teachers and administrators to create service learning opportunities and meet needs for students and families in the Beaverton School District.
One day we might be holding a session in a classroom or with a high school club, speaking with Beaverton's students about the needs in our community and brainstorming about how the group can help. Another day we might be facilitating a 5K to help prevent evictions for local families.
Less glamorous but just as important is the work we do behind the scenes to make sure that hungry kids are getting backpacks during the weekend or long breaks or fundraising to find household goods for a family that just got a new apartment.
Fundraising Drives
In the Flurry of Giving and other drives, your donations help us help Beaverton families and students.

Beaverton School District WE Community Partnership Award

Sexton Mountain's Planting Seeds initiative took root following winter break and an onslaught of snow days. For several families in the community, no school meant their children wouldn't have access to the school breakfast and lunch program they count on.
