The Teacher
Supply Room
Don't throw it out. The teachers want it.
Tucked inside the Foundation office is a room our teachers can shop, anytime, for free. Glue sticks. Construction paper. Shoe boxes. Puzzles missing one piece. Brand new markers. The stuff every classroom runs through — stocked and waiting, so no teacher pays out of pocket again.
If a teacher could use it,
we'll take it.
Truly. Even the things you'd feel weird saving.

Three ways
to fill the room.
Drop off at the Foundation office
321 East Main Street, Chanute. Office hours posted on the Connect page. Just bring it by — no appointment needed.
Host a donation drive
Set up a collection point at your business, church, or community group. We'll provide flyers and a collection bin. Use the contact form on our Connect page to get one going.
Join a community drive
Watch our Facebook page for upcoming drives — back-to-school, around the holidays, and whenever supplies run low. We'll spread the word.
What would you like to donate?
Tell us what items you have, and we'll let you know when to bring them by.
Coming Up
We run donation drives a few times a year — back-to-school, holiday, and any time the room runs low. Watch this page or follow us on Facebook for the next one.
Want to host one yourself? We'd love that. Get in touch →
And on the other
side of the door...
Any USD 413 teacher can come in and grab whatever their classroom needs. No paperwork. No approval forms. Just the door, the shelves, and the unspoken understanding that the community has their back.
Help us keep it stocked.
Drop off a box of supplies. Host a drive at your business. Or just spread the word — the room stays full because this community keeps showing up.
