Every day, teachers show up for their students with passion, creativity, and dedication—but too many of them are doing it without the supplies they need to create the learning environments their students deserve. The Supply A Teacher Program stocks classrooms and sends a powerful message to educators—they are not alone.
No teacher should have to choose between giving their students the best education possible and paying out of pocket for essential classroom materials.
With your help, we can change that. When we support educators, we empower entire communities—because every child deserves a future built on opportunity, not obstacles. Join us in making a difference. Donate today and help us give teachers the resources they need to keep inspiring, creating, and believing in their students.
Helping Students Fall in Love with Learning
“We need to make sure that they fall in love with learning, and that they have the resources and environment to do that.” – Griffin Fox, 6th Grade English Teacher
Every Box Opens A Door
Every Teacher Supply Box provides the essential tools teachers need to inspire young minds. Whether you support a single teacher, an entire school, or a full district, your impact is immediate and lasting. Each teacher receives two large boxes filled with enough core supplies to support a classroom for at least one semester, including:
Pencils, pens, and erasers
Notebooks and folders
Pencil pouches and sharpeners
Rulers and other age-appropriate materials
Crayons and markers (for younger grades)
Highlighters and colored pencils (for older students)
Fully stocked classrooms = students ready to learn.
students start the school year without the supplies they need—and that number grows by the second semester as materials run out.
100%
of teachers report spending their own money on basic classroom supplies.
45%
say they’ve considered leaving the profession due to feeling unsupported.
How Do We Prioritize the Highest-Need Schools?
Supply A Teacher focuses on schools where 50% or more of students are eligible for free or reduced-price meals, ensuring resources reach classrooms that need them most.
“I am profoundly grateful to Kids In Need Foundation, which plays a crucial role in providing the supplies our students’ families cannot otherwise afford.”
