Teachers Turning To Free Supply Shops To Outfit Their Classrooms
“Any childcare provider — from homeschooling parents to private school teachers — can shop the Swap twice a week and take up to five tote bags of goods. The first load is free but a yearly membership of $45 gives educators unlimited visits. Last year, the Swap says it gave away more than $127,000 in school supplies. The new or gently-used items come from other teachers, local businesses or community members.”
