Donating Teaching Materials & Supplies

Oct 2004
I work in a Berkeley public elementary school and I am cleaning out our
bookroom. Does anyone know of someone - institution, charter school,
home school, artist, or whatever - who is interested in old school
materials? There is everything from math workbooks to teachers'
manuals to readers to class literature sets that need to be recycled or
reused. Of course, we prefer anyone who will pick up, but any advice is
appreciated. Teachers are notorious packrats and we are up to our ears!

There are several homeschooling groups in the East Bay. I'm sure
many families would be interested in the materials you have to
donate. I am an Alameda County Contact for the Homeschooling
Association of California. If you wish to set up a time for
people to come pickup materials and send me the information, I
can forward that information to the various groups.

Does anyone know if there is a place to donate old teaching
supplies/materials? I think there used to be a place in Berkeley.

I'm pretty sure Craigslist has an area seeking donations to
schools. It's called Teachers' Wishlists.

Perhaps East Bay Depot Center for Creative Reuse
will fit the bill?
good luck
I suggest you check out Kapnek Trust. They have a website:
jfkapnektrust.org. It is run by a pediatrician. They are
doing wonderful things to help out the orphaned children in
Zimbabwe, like building schools and training the local women to
be doctors. Plus many of the family members are stepping in to
care for their neices, nephews, granchildren, etc.
In addition to educating the children, the schools provide time
for their care-givers to earn money, bring food etc. Contact me
if you want me to include your donation in the next delivery
and you will get a tax letter in return. 100% of your donation
goes to the cause.
