You + Donations = Prepared
Help A Teacher was designed just for YOU! We understand that providing supplies for your classroom can be a struggle. It’s our goal–our mission–to help.
Funding is tight in many areas, and often the result is a lack of money to equip classrooms. We know you are and have been, buying classroom materials and supplies from your pocketbooks. You’re not alone. We want to help! In fact, many people want to help. This page was designed to offer a connection between you and the people ready to help.

More Information
Once you receive donations from your generous Donors, we ask that you please post a picture of your items on the Help A Teacher Facebook page. Some of our amazing Donors choose to remain anonymous, and this is a fabulous way of letting them know the items they ordered have arrived, and thank them as well. It’s also encouraging to other Teachers that are still contemplating posting on Help A Teacher.
Once you have posted an Amazon wishlist, if you choose to update it with new items, or it has changed in some way, it is not necessary to repost the link. You can simply comment on your original post that you have added new items or that your Amazon wishlist has been updated. The link will automatically update.
We welcome all Teachers to post, including day care Teachers, church school Teachers, and private school Teachers. We do not allow posts from in-home daycares or homeschools.
If you are not sure if you qualify, please send us an email at questions@helpateacher.com or private message us on the Help A Teacher facebook page.
Finally, please invite your co-workers, family, and friends to like the page! We are always looking for ways to expand the support group and exposure. Your help is needed to do so and much appreciated. Thank you for teaching. We need you, and we appreciate what you do.
