School Teacher Supply Center

ALBANY, NY (09/06/2023) (readMedia)-- On average, a teacher in America spends $459 on school supplies. According to the think-tank, an overwhelming majority of America's teachers will not be reimbursed for these costs. In high-poverty school districts, teachers are often first responders when it comes to making sure students have what they need to succeed in the classroom.

Last year the Parent And Teacher Supply Center was opened not knowing how great the need was to help teachers with the supplies they need to help their students.

Over the last month a record number of teachers have visited the store picking up the much needed supplies needed to help their students. Teachers can get anything needed for students from notebooks to calculators, backpacks, lunchboxes, pens, pencils, and so much more.

Every year for 28 years Pastor Charlie and the Victory Church has given out thousands of backpacks and school supplies for city kids but wanted to help in a way of getting exactly what students need. So far this year teachers from 26 schools have been helped. Right now the store needs a full restocking because of the demand.

Location WestGate building next to Westgate Shopping Center by appointment only. All items are new and donations are excepted. Any and all school teachers qualifies to shop at the store.

Appointments are Monday through Friday. For more information teachers can call 518-434-6100
