New Teacher Supply Store Entirely Free For Teachers In Upstate NY

ALBANY, NY (08/28/2025) (readMedia)-- It is like your stepping into Staples with every supply a teacher would need for their students and some. This year a record number of teachers are asking for help. Teachers from all over the Capital District are finding out they can get some help with supplying school supplies for students that are financially challenged.

Everywhere backpacks are being handed out with supplies most of the time the older students do not get the supplies needed for school. For 30 years we were giving out around 1000 backpacks but when we found out the kids were not getting a lot of supplies needed we opened the store that goes right to the source the teacher. Now hundreds of teachers are coming and getting the supplies needed.

This is a story that needs to be told that teachers need more support in this area of teaching. Many cannot afford the supplies that their students need. Schools need to put this in their school budgets. Meanwhile we will continue to help many of these teachers.

Teachers also let us know when a child needs new sneakers or footwear. This is very common with students coming from a place of poverty.

Teachers can call 518-434-6100 for appointment.
