There are so many educational charities and good causes in the world today. It’s often hard to know where to put your time and money. One great cause is A Gift for Teaching. Since 1998, they have been working to improve education. Their goal is to transfer the community’s surplus materials and resources to teachers who need them.

It’s a really simple idea. If people have more supplies than they can use, and others don’t have enough money to buy school supplies, there is no reason that those two can’t be matched. Based in Florida, the organization has helped more than 142,000 students in the community to have what they need to learn. They also have programs in other areas that allow students and teachers to get what they need for their music lessons, their art classes and their physical education demands.

This is one example of the many ways that organizations work to creatively help students. A school desk has very little worth to a student if he doesn’t have pencils or paper to use at that desk. And the Gift for Teaching tries to ensure that the school lockers are filled with the right supplies and that the teachers and students have what they need to excel.
