Some of the many BTF retirees that help us in the work to encourage teachers and help students in need.

The Students

Students receive new supplies. Over 50,000 students have benefited from the work of The Teacher’s Desk.

The Teacher’s Desk has distributed $1,650,000.00 in free school supplies to students in need since opening in October 2011.

Teachers shop for free. 250 schools and 3500 teachers have shopped with us.

The Teacher’s Desk was founded in 2011 by John Mika, retired autoworker and former substitute teacher.

Our vision is to encourage teachers and give students in need hope for the future.

Our mission is to please God by providing free school supplies to students in need throughout Western New York.
