It takes a village.

Giving teachers the classroom supplies they need to provide the best education possible.

What teachers have told us.

  • "Our classroom has transformed into a community of curious, confident readers! The new chapter books have opened doors for students to explore stories beyond simple sentences, helping them grow as thinkers and problem-solvers. One student who previously struggled with short texts now proudly reads aloud from a chapter book, saying, 'I feel like a real reader!' Another student has started writing her own stories inspired by the characters she loves. These books have not only improved reading skills but also sparked creativity and confidence."

    Ms. Allen from Port St Lucie, Florida

  • "Because of your donation, our gym has been filled with flying birdies, big smiles, and a whole lot of laughter. The badminton sets have given students something new to be excited about, and they've been using them daily to learn basic skills like serving, rallying, footwork, and working with a partner. Thank you for giving our students the chance to try something new, stay active, and have fun while learning."

    Dr. Nelissen from Pasadena, California

  • "I am so grateful to be able to start the new school year with the supplies I need to teach small groups at standing whiteboards. When students work together standing at whiteboards, they are more willing to take risks, share ideas, revise their thinking, and actively participate in discussions. Learning happens more organically when students can erase their work and make their thinking visible to all group members. These materials escalate my ability to teach in this way. Thank you for supplying these items!"

    Mr. Faunt from Milwaukie, Oregon

  • "The students at our high school are creative, hardworking, and eager to learn each and every day. Many come from low-income households where access to consistent meals and basic necessities can be difficult. These food resources will help ensure that students have access to snacks and essential nourishment during the school day so they can stay focused, engaged, and ready to learn. When students do not have to worry about hunger, they are better able to participate in class, build confidence, and achieve academic success."

    Ms. Eudene from Danbury, Connecticut

  • "Having enough equipment for all students means less time waiting and more time actively participating, practicing skills, and engaging in meaningful physical activity. Many of my students thrive when they are active, and physical education provides opportunities for them to build confidence, teamwork, leadership, and healthy habits that can last a lifetime. These basketballs, volleyballs, footballs, and soccer balls will help create an inclusive environment where every student can be successful, stay active, and develop a lifelong appreciation for fitness and healthy living."

    Mr. Vincent from Phoenix, Arizona

  • "We are truly grateful for the joy and learning your donation will bring to our classroom. The LEGOs are already sparking excitement and curiosity in my students, giving them hands-on opportunities to build their science and math skills while supporting focus, confidence, and social-emotional growth. The chair covers have given students more space to work at their desks and are helping them learn how to stay organized. "

    Mrs. Helzer from Hemet, California

  • "Every 11th grader will receive a brand-new notebook on the first day of school. I am so excited that my students will get to experience that feeling. A cornerstone of my 11th-grade English class is the daily journal. Students are given a prompt each day and asked to write about their thoughts, questions, epiphanies, and feelings. Journal writing has made a huge impact on my students' communication skills. In a world of AI, it feels more important than ever for students to have a daily practice that helps them grow as writers and thinkers. "

    Ms. Nicholson from Portland, Maine

  • "Math comes alive when students can see, touch, and explore concepts with their own hands. In our classroom, hands-on math manipulatives will provide students with meaningful opportunities to build a deeper understanding of important mathematical concepts such as place value, fractions, geometry, multiplication, division, and problem-solving. I will also be able to have all 48 of my students start a math journal that they can use in future years! Thank you so much for helping me get these hands on math resources for my students."

    Mrs. Gorkiewicz from Romulus, Michigan

  • "Literacy is such an important part of learning and growing into adulthood. Having these books for my students to read as we conduct novel studies will have such an impact on their love for reading. With each student having a copy of the book to read, students will be able to make annotations throughout the novel study using Post-it notes. Thank you so much for your generosity and willingness to give to students. This shows my students that people believe in them and want them to succeed!"

    Ms. Davis from Abilene, Texas

  • "Being a Title 1 school, I do not receive more funding for books, and our students rely on our library because they do not have books at home. During library visits, I often see students sketching characters from their favorite books, filling notebooks with original comics, or asking me for books that teach them how to draw. Learn-to-draw books help reluctant readers build confidence, support English language learners through visual storytelling, and give creative students a way to express themselves when words are difficult. The excitement on their faces when they discover a new series or a drawing book they have been hoping for is unforgettable."

    Mrs. Riviera from Everett, Washington

  • "Because of your incredible generosity, our brand-new STEM lab has wonderful materials and is ready for innovation. Your support has provided essential, open-ended materials —Legos, magnetic tiles, and cups, to everyday crafting and engineering components like spoons, foam, felt, ping-pong balls, clothespins, and feathers— that will fuel the imaginations of all 600 of our K-5 students. Our students learn best when they can touch, build, test, and redesign. Because of you, they have the freedom to fail forward, collaborate, and try again."

    Mrs. Wilson from Louisville, Kentucky

  • "The majority of my students cannot afford to join outside private gyms due to pricey memberships. As a result, they often have fewer opportunities for structured, safe physical activity, and school-based strength training can help close that gap. Many rely on school as their primary place for structured physical activity, making it essential to provide an environment that promotes both safety and opportunity. Students can work toward gradual progress, such as increasing endurance, maintaining proper posture, and understanding how to follow fitness routines responsibly."

    Mrs. Garcia from Miami, Florida

How it works.

1. Donors make a pledge to contribute $5 weekly.

2. Every day, Village completes requests from teachers for classroom supplies.

3. Teachers document the impact, and donors receive a weekly report detailing how their money was spent.
