SFT touts itself as a “free store” for teachers. Their goal is to provide teachers free classroom and school supplies at no cost. This 501(c)(3) organization isn’t open to the public, but if you’re a teacher with students who need a bit of a helping hand, it’s a good resource. The program is just getting started, with teachers from 10 pilot schools are able to go to their warehouse to choose what they need. Their pilot program looks to end in 2012, when – if all goes as planned – the program hopes to expand to include all 210 area public schools.
