Getting Ready for the 2025-2026 School Year

As the new school year approaches, our community's classrooms and students need your support more than ever. Based on teacher surveys, teacher need has grown over the past 5 years to include everything from core basics to hygiene and wellness goods. At Teachers' Treasures, we strive to not only create a foundation of those basic items but also elevate what's possible. Your support allows us to make sure that teachers don't have to worry about where their pencils are coming from while exploring new projects, taking care of whole-student needs, and creating a bright future for students.

Over 90% of our teachers surveyed said that having access to Teachers' Treasures supports their students academic and emotional health, as well as their own mental health and professional goals.

Help us create a culture of caring and support for our teachers so that they can nurture the next generation.

When we work together to support our students, we can make wonderful things happen!

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.
