Go Back To School 2018 With

Compassion Coalition launched Central New York’s very first Teacher Free Store in the fall of 2017, serving over 460 local educators and more than 28,000 local students. The overwhelming positive responses from the teachers we’re serving continue to make this one of the greatest programs that we’ve ever launched.

Who knows the needs of students more than the teachers who serve them every single day? Teachers see who is missing a pencil or a box of crayons and can slip the student the product without disruption of classroom time, because they have it on hand. Read more about how your donation will be used.

WHAT YOUR DONATION WILL GO TOWARD

Compassion Coalition launched Equipped to Teach in December 2017. Full-time, New York State Certified Teachers who are currently teaching in elementary and high schools of 70% or higher free or reduced lunch can schedule a time to come and shop at our resource center for their classroom needs. Through a partnership with national donors, we are able to get one of a kind educational supplies donated, but Compassion Coalition has been buying basic, necessary supplies to disperse in the center. Our community has asked how to get involved with this one of a kind venture: no donation amount is too large or too small. 100% of all donations go directly to obtaining products for our Teacher Resource Center, Equipped to Teach.
