Our Programs

Every program is built around one goal: making sure teachers never have to reach into their own wallets to take care of their students.

FLAGSHIP PROGRAM

Classroom Wish Lists

Registered teachers submit a list of what their classroom actually needs, from pencils and folders to snacks, hygiene products, and sensory items. Community members and businesses shop those lists and give directly.

  • Snacks, hygiene basics, and classroom supplies

  • Donors shop real teacher wish lists

  • No cost to teachers or families, ever

SPONSOR A CLASSROOM

Adopt a Classroom

Businesses, organizations, and individuals can sponsor a full classroom for the school year. Your name or brand shows up as that classroom's community partner. You will be matched with a real teacher and receive a thank-you directly from her classroom.

  • Starting at $350 per classroom

  • Matched with a real Raytown-area teacher

  • Community visibility for your brand or organization

COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIP

Supply Drop Partnerships

Local businesses host Stock Their Shelves drop-off boxes in their locations. Customers drop off supplies, businesses get community visibility, and teachers get stocked. It is a win for everyone involved.

  • Drop-off boxes provided free to partner businesses

  • We handle pickup and delivery to teachers

  • Year-round community engagement for your location
