How You Can Help

On average, NC teachers spend around $1,600 of their own money on classroom supplies each year. The Teacher Supply Warehouse helps offset that burden by providing Guilford County Schools educators with free new and gently-used supplies all year.  We can only do this with the support of the community. There are 3 easy ways you can help: 

1. Donate Supplies: When you are out shopping, grab a few school supplies and drop them by the Warehouse.  Or donate gently-used items like games, puzzles, arts and crafts supplies, and more. Donation hours at the main Warehouse location (134 Franklin Blvd, GSO) are Wednesday and Thursday, 10am – 5pm and Friday from 10am – 1pm.  Or purchase supplies via our Amazon Wish List and have them sent directly to the Warehouse – making an impact couldn’t be easier! 

2. Host a Supply Drive:  We have everything you need to do this – boxes, posters, even email templates!  Organize a drive at your office, house of faith, club or other gathering place.  Donations help us keep the shelves stocked!  Supply drives can be virtual or in-person. To get started, email Lenny Patterson at lenny@shift-ed.org

3. Make a Monetary Donation:  We double the value of every dollar donated by purchasing new supplies at wholesale costs. This is an easy way to make a difference!  Make a donation online here.

How the Teacher Supply Warehouse Works

The Teacher Supply Warehouses are open to all GCS educators.  Educators must sign up for a date and time to shop. Please bring your GCS I.D. to your shopping appointment. GCS educators can shop up to 4 times a year. Anyone with a GCS I.D. can shop at the Teacher Supply Warehouse! 

Eductors can shop for a variety of items throughout the year.  At each shopping visit, a set amount of points are given to use for new, high-demand items, like  paper, pencils, glue sticks, dry erase markers, copy paper and more.

We also stock a wide variety of new and gently-used items, including books, STEM supplies, arts and crafts materials and more!
