Free 2 Teach

Free 2 Teach Students need supplies to learn. Teachers need tools to teach. Our community needs young people to drive our future.

Free 2 Teach provides free school supplies to public school teachers in Madison and Limestone County, Alabama, by mobilizing the community to ensure every child has access to an excellent education. Free 2 Teach is the connection point for these needs. We connect our teachers with a multitude of resources including traditional school supplies, office supplies, math and science resources, craft ite

ms, room décor, books, furniture and more. Free 2 Teach provides free resources to teachers in Madison County’s three public school systems. These resources are available to more than 3,800 full-time classroom teachers and their 52,000 students, improving the educational experience of our children and strengthening our community’s future workforce. Free 2 Teach is committed to easing the personal financial burden of teachers. Did you know that teachers spend between five-hundred and fifteen-hundred dollars of their own money every year to buy supplies for their students and classrooms? Each teacher who shops at the Free 2 Teach store leaves with an average of $400 in free classroom resources. We are grateful to be able to give back to our community’s teachers in a very tangible way. We applaud their passion for doing this important work and look forward to supporting them as they continue to make a meaningful difference in the lives of our students and our community. Teacher's must register on our website to be able to see our store hours and schedule a shopping time: http://free2teach.3cfreestore.com/Teacher/RegisterToShop.

We were so grateful to be a part of Founder's Month at Turner MidSouth this year! We are so grateful for their support in building kits for the Healthy Kids program. Last school year, the program expanded with new hygiene kits, and over 8,000 kits were distributed to teachers in Madison and Limestone county. Turner's support helps to ensure that the program will continue to deliver key hygiene and health items to teachers across North Alabama in the next school year!

Johnathan Watson, Jordan Walters and Kenneth Johnson from the Nashville headquarters joined Brandy Brannon Smith, Angel Stinson, Amy Hovis and Tawana Williamson from the Huntsville branch to build STEM kits for our Free 2 Explore program.

“We love to give back to our communities and partner together with associates from across the region to make a local impact. It was so energizing to be here today, team building while also doing something good for the community."

Julia Godfrey and Kristen Harris volunteered with us on Saturday at our Meta Checkout Center.

“Everybody is so friendly. The whole system is really well organized. It’s easy to just come in and volunteer. The learning curve was practically none. We loved it!”

This week our shops are full - we will serve 150 teachers! We can only do this because of the help of so many who give their time to serve teachers with us at our warehouse. To get involved go to: https://free2teach.org/volunteer/individuals/
