Meaningful Programs For Vital Resources

Crayons to Classrooms strives to enhance the merchandise available to teachers in our resource center by providing them with useful, valuable products. To that end, we have created a number of special programs that make it easy for donors and volunteers to dedicate their energy and enthusiasm. Together, we are enhancing program development and actualizing so many possibilities. Read more about our special programs below.

School Supply Drives

Your business, organization, or community group can become a hero to local classrooms and help local students by hosting a school supply drive. The basic school supplies collected will go onto the shelves of our teacher free store to supply local classrooms in need.

Classroom Solutions

The Classroom Solutions program is designed to provide teachers with educational materials that add depth and value to their lesson plans and classroom displays. Products are made entirely by Crayons to Classrooms’ volunteers, using mostly donated supplies and in-house tools and equipment.

Offsite Projects

Crayons to Classrooms has several volunteer projects that can be done remotely. Whether you want to do something on your own, with your family, or with your community group or office team, we have a project for you!

Volunteer To Shop

Know a teacher who isn’t currently eligible for our services? By volunteering with Crayons to Classrooms, you can earn that teacher shopping credit in our store. Learn how you can volunteer so your favorite teacher can shop.

"Crayons to Classrooms highlights a need for schools that serve low income students. They stock a wide variety of school supplies that teachers can then come and 'shop' for free. Many people have heard that teachers spend their own money to provide things that their students need. This nonprofit has opened the eyes of the citizens of Dayton, OH, and allowed the community to take this burden off teachers' shoulders. The office and store are well-run and the staff excellent. A model organization."
