The AES Ohio Foundation's grant will be used to enhance and expand C2C’s main program to provide supplies to teachers in AES service areas.
The Troy Foundation awarded $4500 to Crayons to Classrooms to serve teachers and students in need at Forest Elementary and Heywood Elementary in Troy, Ohio.
At C2C's second annual Book Give Back event, 149 Miami Valley teachers took 13,392 books back to their classrooms and students.
Last month, Crayons to Classrooms and Elements IV, a local office furniture company, gifted new desk chairs to 4 Miami Valley teachers.
Crayons to Classrooms is thankful for AES Foundation, the charitable arm of AES Restaurant Group, for their generous donation of $16,238.55.
The Dor-Wood Optimist Club awarded C2C a grant for the 2023-24 school year in support of Kettering teachers of students in need.
"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."
