According to a recent survey taken by the National School Supply and Equipment Association, teachers pay for 77 percent of the supplies needed in the classroom. RedditGifts wanted to change that.
The program matches donators with teachers to ship them the supplies that they need to focus on teaching their kids without worrying about a lack of resources. As of August, 14,000 teachers had signed up for help and 10,000 donators had answered the call. It’s a brilliant, easy way to help — the best kind of paying it forward that exists.
