The Why

October 5^th is National Teacher’s Day. To celebrate and recognize our teachers, Carr Parkwood is giving back. We are doing a school supply drive that will benefit our teachers and their students in Marion County. What better way to help our teachers than to partner with and donate to Teachers’ Treasures.

Join Carr Workplaces-Parkwood as we raise funds and supplies to donate to Teachers’ Treasures.

From Oct 5^th – Oct 27^th we will be accepting donations. You can give by either bringing in school supplies and dropping them off in the donation boxes in various locations on the 2^nd floor or click on the link below and give monetarily.

For any donation you give, your name will be entered into a drawing for a $50 gift card to Uber Eats.

“Helping Teachers Help Kids” – Teachers’ Treasurers

The Need

Every day at public, private, charter, and parochial schools located throughout Marion County, children of all ages attend class without the most basic supplies they need to get a good education. Dedicated teachers are often willing to pay for these much needed supplies out of their own pockets to make sure the kids in their classrooms have the necessary tools to learn. On average, teachers spend $800-$1200 a year on school supplies for their students.

Our Answer

Teachers’ Treasures, in partnership with local businesses, charitable foundations, neighborhood organizations and individual contributors, helps fill this need by operating a volunteer-based “Store for Teachers.” Donated educational supplies and other materials are distributed via this unique conduit to teachers for the benefit of their students. We serve teachers from any school (public, private, charter, or parochial) in Marion County and the immediately surrounding school districts with 60% of more of the student population on the free or reduced lunch programs are eligible.
