Cincinnati nonprofit Crayons to Computers works to level the playing field in the classroom by providing students in need the tools to succeed in school. The Teacher Free Store enables teachers from eligible schools to “shop” 10 times per school year for classroom supplies while the Mobile Outreach Program transports a subset of the store to distant schools. All product is 100% free of charge. Since its inception in 1997, Crayons to Computers has distributed more than $160 million worth of basic school supplies, educational tools and incentive items. With more than 450 schools and nearly 12,000 teachers eligible to shop, Crayons strives to serve nearly 119,000 children in need across 16 counties in the Greater Cincinnati area.
