A Site Where Your Wishes Are Granted...Possibly
How does it work? Teachers select items they need for their classroom from an online catalog, creating a classroom wishlist. Parents, grandparents, companies and benefactors browse the wishlists, select the items they would like to see provided to the classroom, and make a donation to Classroom Wishlist. Classroom Wishlist purchases the selected items and delivers them to the classroom. Check it out.

A program you may want to learn about...Schools In Need
Schools In Need is a philanthropic partnership with the National School Supply and Equipment Association (NSSEA) and Gifts In Kind International.
Through Schools In Need, nonprofit organizations and Title 1 schools offering learning enrichment programs for underprivileged, displaced and at-risk children can obtain newly manufactured educational products. On this site, charities and schools may locate a wide assortment of school equipment, furniture and many other materials needed to outfit a classroom or accommodate an extra-curricular educational program.
NSSEA member companies with products to donate will discover just how easy it is to provide our children -- through charities and schools -- with access to the resources needed for a quality educational experience.
