Treasures 4 Teachers is a federally chartered 501 (c) (3) non-profit association located in the greater Phoenix area.

Based on a highly successful model that has been implemented in 24 other cities across the US, Treasures 4 Teachers operates a resource center to provide teachers and educators all the educational material they need.

The store is stocked with a wide variety of items for use in science, math, reading, craft, arts, and other projects. We also provide office and school supplies, such as staplers, binders, pens, paper, glue, and more. What is truly unique is that most of these supplies and materials come from a collection of local, regional and national businesses, who donate their surplus business supplies and materials (which were bound for local landfills) to our store. In addition, Treasures 4 Teachers receives supplies from a handful of national non-profit partners.

Treasures 4 Teachers is a very effective program. Affiliated partners from around the country have reported a veritable army of current teachers and retired teachers in their communities who have come forward on a regular basis to volunteer their time to make their stores run as efficiently as possible - this makes it possible to provide more materials and supportive services to our members and the community.
