Make an In-Kind Donation
What Our Students Need Most
Change for Kids welcomes in-kind donations. Books, school supplies, computers, software, musical instruments, science kits, pencils, paints, crayons, and more. With shrinking school budgets and increasing financial strains on teachers and parents, these are crucial educational necessities that underfunded public schools and their low-income students are often forced to go without.
We are especially looking for donations of the following items, most often requested by teachers:
- Construction Paper
- Stickers (offering encouragement: "Good Job!"; "Super Reader!"; etc.)
- Blank Cassette Tapes
- Tape Recorder with Microphone (to record students reading)
- Colored Pencils
- Markers
- Dry Erase Markers
- Folders
- 1-inch Binders
- Paper Edgers and Cutters
- Decorative Paper Punchers
- Glue Sticks
- CD Players (boomboxes)
- Digital Cameras
