When communities come together, real change happens. 🙌

By working side by side, we can provide more classroom supplies, stronger financial support, and meaningful time and resources to support our teachers and students.

No single person can do it alone—but together, we can do more.

Right now, your generosity goes even further thanks to a matching donor. Myers Brothers will match every donation dollar-for-dollar, up to $5,000, doubling the impact of your gift.

Join your neighbors, educators, and local partners in strengthening our schools and supporting those who need it most.

Give today and help our community show what’s possible when we work together. ❤️

We asked: what inspired you to become a teacher?
✨Mural:

Seeing the smiles on students’ faces when they learn something really exciting, watching passion for a new skill develop over the year, and knowing that the minds of our community’s future are being cultivated and nurtured - these are the sparks that motivate teachers.

Our work at ScrapsKC’s Teacher Resource Center aims to keep that spark alive. Help us keep that work going.

✨ $35 provides one teacher access to up to $3,000 in free school supplies each year

✨ $35/month provides 12 teachers access to up to $36,000 in free school supplies every year

Your small act of generosity provides the support our teachers need. 💛

🍎✏️ We asked: What do teachers love about the TRC?

On average, teachers spend $500-750 out of their own wallets each year on supplies for their classrooms. Your gift helps change that story.

✨ $35 provides one teacher access to up to $3,000 in free school supplies each year
✨ $35/month provides 12 teachers access to up to $36,000 in free school supplies every year

“Last year as a 6th grade science teacher, I spent $650 on supplies. So far this year, I’ve only spent $47. Thank you for helping me have more funds for self-care and family.” — Local Teacher

When we take care of teachers, we take care of students. 💛
Let’s turn “What If?” into “We Did!”
