Ready, Set, Restock

By spring, 96% of back-to-school supplies are gone. Classrooms are still buzzing — the pencils, paper and glue just aren't. $10 restocks one student for the rest of the year.

From the classroom

“It was a complete game changer for my classroom.”

“The first time I went to Kids In Need Foundation, it was just a complete game changer for my classroom, when I didn't have many resources at all. Brand new teacher starting out. I was using a lot of my own money. It's like I can just freely be giving these supplies. And the kids use them, and the kids love them.”

Cassie McLain · Elementary school teacher

“Not everybody can come in with their box of crayons and their markers, but I have everything then that I can provide, and we all have what we need to succeed, to learn, to have fun — and Kids In Need gives us that every day.”

Christine Obermueller · 1st grade teacher

“Anything the kids need on a daily basis and don't have access to at home — those are the things I want to make sure they have, so they can participate in whatever we're doing and never feel like, ‘I can't do this because I don't have the supplies.’ I never want a student to feel unprepared.”

Cami Dahlstrom · 10th grade biology teacher
