The Teacher’s Desk is designed to be a place of encouragement for teachers, as well as a resource center for school supplies, books, hygiene items and incentives for students in need.
Who can shop?
Full-time teachers having onsite classroom/office space within the schools where at least 70% of the students participate in the Federal Free or Reduced School Lunch Program are welcome to shop free at The Teacher’s Desk.
What are we shopping for?
Core school supplies, new books, student incentives and hygiene product every classroom can use. Each teacher receives on average $1,000 in free supplies for their classroom.
When can we shop?
Once your school is approved educators can reserve a date to shop curbside (choosing supplies or a pre- filled cart) on Tuesdays from 3:00 PM – 5:00 PM or in-store on Saturdays from 8:30 AM – 11:30 AM. The Teacher’s Desk also has a program called Delivering Hope for schools desiring truckloads of supplies delivered directly to their schools.
What if our school is not yet participating?
