$1 million in school supplies distributed to teachers

Crayons to Classrooms, the Dayton area’s teacher resource center, held a “Million Dollar Moment Celebration” Wednesday morning to mark the organization’s latest milestone —- having distributed more than $1 million in school supplies for teachers to use in their classrooms.

Crayons to Classrooms, a free store for teachers from under-funded schools in the Dayton area serving low-income families. was certified as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit in 2008.

The store is housed at Goodwill Easter Seals’ building at 1511 Kuntz Road.

Goodwill Easter Seals’ partnership with Crayons to Classrooms grew out of an initiative by the Dayton Foundation and other funders to provide free educational supplies to teachers.

Donors and volunteers who made the milestone possible were recognized during Wednesday’s program.
