By midyear, classrooms are buzzing with creativity, perseverance, and learning — but supplies run low as students grow and projects take shape. Teachers are resourceful, students are eager, and your partnership helps them finish the school year strong.
By January, classrooms across the U.S. are running on empty. Over half of students arrive without essential supplies, and most supplies provided during back-to-school season won’t make it through the year. Ready, Set, Restock is our call to action. Together, we can replace those broken pencils and dried-out markers, and ensure every child has what they need to finish the school year strong.
At Kids In Need Foundation (KINF), we believe every child deserves access to the essential tools that make quality education possible.
Through our national network of teacher resource centers, we connect generous partners with resilient educators to ensure that every classroom remains a place of inspiration and opportunity — all year long.
Your Impact
When you give, you’re not just providing supplies — you’re fueling potential. Every notebook, marker, and glue stick helps unlock creativity and builds confidence in the classroom.
Your generosity fuels learning — and reminds teachers they have a community behind them.
Not every donation comes in dollars — your products can make an extraordinary impact, too.
If your company has overstock, discontinued items, or surplus inventory, you can turn it into opportunity for classrooms across the country.
Your gift restocks classrooms midyear so that every student can continue learning with pride and possibility. Corporate and custom partnership opportunities are available to amplify your impact.
Gather your team to help pack supply kits filled with pencils, notebooks, and other essentials. Each kit fuels creativity, builds connection, and reminds teachers that a community stands with them.
Kits are shipped directly to under‑resourced teachers and students, where teachers like Eliza Fultz and Peg Nelson watch stress melt away and learning thrive.
“These may feel like little things—folders, pencils—but without them, students disengage. Having supplies is a way for students to feel they do belong. It’s that simple.” — Kansas high‑school teacher
Every classroom holds promise. Every student holds potential. Together, we can ensure they have the resources to keep learning, growing, and thriving — all year long.
If now isn’t the right time to give, you can still make a difference.

Hear From Teachers In The Classroom
After years of sharing microscopes and rationing lab supplies, she can finally put the right tools in her students’ hands. “With supplies, every child feels prepared, capable and confident.”
“Before students can thrive, their basic needs must be met. When I don’t have to worry about supplies, I can focus on helping my students grow with confidence.”
“Learning never stops when the playing field is level. High‑quality materials remove stress and let students focus on discovery and curiosity.”
“Student success is contagious. When every student has their supplies, they feel secure and ready to participate.”
“Students aren’t always lucky enough to have what they need. When they receive a kit, they feel seen, supported and ready for anything.”
Teachers say having the right tools boosts confidence, participation, and self-esteem by as much as 97–99%, completely transforming the way a student interacts with their own education.
