Treasures 4 Teachers is a Tempe, Arizona-based nonprofit that provides supplies to 4,500 teachers, reaching over 135,000 students. For $35 a year, educators get access to a 12,000-square-foot warehouse full of new and used low-cost supplies, free and low-cost professional development opportunities and resources, and even gifts from corporate donors. A T4T on Wheels program delivers supplies to teachers in the area. While many teachers look for staples like dry erase markers, they can also snag egg cartons, plastic containers, tissue boxes, and loose writing utensils with no packaging for art projects. The program is donation based, supported in part by proceeds from the T4T Thrift Store which is open to the public, and takes in reusable goods from the community.
