A store where teachers Pre-k through 8th grade shop free for students in need.

Our Needs

Teachers

The Teacher’s Desk is designed to be a place of encouragement for teachers as well as a resource center for school supplies for students in need.

Who can Shop?
Teachers at schools that have a 70% or greater student participation in the National School Lunch Program are welcome to shop for free at The Teacher’s Desk.

What are we shopping for?
Basic school supplies and items every classroom can use.

When can we shop?
The Principal or Teacher’s Desk liaison at participating schools will notify teachers in advance of their free shopping day. Once teachers receive approval they simply visit The Teacher’s Desk on a day they are scheduled to shop.

What if our school is not yet participating?
Because of the need The Teacher’s Desk is starting with schools that have the greatest student participation in the National School Lunch Program.  As we grow we will invite more schools.

Thank you so much for having our teachers at the store.  Our staff had a great experience – they said it was AMAZING!  Tons of supplies, very friendly and helpful staff, and overall it was wonderful.  They were very excited to come back to their classrooms with the new supplies (and the kids were excited to get started with the new supplies, too).
