With the rising costs of everyday essentials, kids (and their families) going back to school can definitely use a boost. Supplies can cost a family upwards of $890! Zappos For Good has partnered with Kids In Need Foundation to give you an easy (and free!) option to donate school supplies you may have sitting at home that you're no longer needing. It doesn't matter where in the U.S. you live. Items like notebooks, crayons, markers, scissors, and pencils are just some of the common items that everyone going back to school needs.

👉 Box them up and ship them (for free!). Get all of the details: https://www.kinf.org/zappos-for-good-campaign/

PS - If you happen to be a family that is needing supplies, please check out our "(Free) School Supplies" opportunity in FEATURED Opportunities.

Amid all of the discussion around a teacher shortage in the U.S., a topic that is about to get more attention is the September 2024 end of emergency funds for public schools. During the pandemic, $190 billion in emergency funding (thru the Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ESSER) program) was provided to help school districts weather the storm. But now as these funds are set to expire, many are predicting teacher and staff layoffs.....not to mention what this means for children who have already been 'set back' academically.
