Donate your Extra Supplies
help local teachers and students
Does your office have surplus supplies or outdated letterhead? Teaching Tools for Hillsborough Schools, a program of the Hillsborough Education Foundation, has the answer for you! Teaching Tools operates a store for teachers at high need Title-I schools where the teachers “shop” monthly for free supplies to bring back to their classrooms and at-risk students.
During the spring time, the store receives fewer donations, but the teacher's and student's need for supplies remains ever present to get through the rest of the school year. How you can help? Teaching Tools distributes usable business surplus from the community back into the classroom. Read more...
