More than half (51%) of all U.S. public school students live in households near or below the poverty line and are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. Many of these families are simply unable to send their children to school with the classroom supplies needed to succeed. Schools and their teachers are filling the gap. Today, 97% of teachers purchase supplies for their students out of their own pockets. On average, spending $740 each year. They need our help.
