Back to School Teachers Store

Back to School Teachers Store’s mission is to provide children and classrooms in Delaware County schools the basic tools for learning by transferring, at no cost, the community’s surplus supplies and merchandise into the hands of teachers and school children in need.

The store serves the educational needs of children in Delaware County by providing a transfer of donated merchandise from businesses and individuals to teachers at no cost for use in their classrooms and schools. Back to School Teachers Store is not only a free store for teachers but also a place of support and inspiration for those who have dedicated their lives to educating children. When teachers see the variety of donated products on the shelves, they realize that it is because businesses and volunteers value their work in educating our children. This program impacts positive change to the education of children in our community.

Back to School Teachers Store serves teachers from preschools, elementary schools, middle schools and high schools, as well as instructors with community programs that educate children from low income families can qualify to shop at Back to School Teachers Store. Instructional assistants, librarians and counselors at eligible schools may also shop.
