THE FREE STORE FOR TEACHERS

Our Free Store is at the core of our mission to serve students and teachers. It’s where we house the essential tools and school supplies that cycle directly into Portland classrooms. Our Free Store is open to every teacher in the Portland Public School system.

BUSINESSES WIN by directly impacting education, the environment and our community.
THE ENVIRONMENT WINS through reuse and recycling.
TEACHERS WIN because they can get supplies for their classrooms for free. And, most importantly...
CHILDREN WIN because they have the tools they need to learn and succeed in school.

DONATE

Donations enable us to keep our Free Store stocked with supplies for teachers and classrooms year round.
