We provide supplies for the school year and gifts for the holidays to Atlanta parents and children living in poverty.
关于我们
Every child deserves happiness and the opportunity to succeed. That’s why The Empty Stocking Fund empowers metro Atlanta parents and guardians of children living in poverty by providing them with an opportunity to give their children gifts during the holidays and school supplies to carry them through the year. Through relationships with wholesale distributors, The Empty Stocking Fund purchases brand new items in sufficient quantities to offer a variety of age- and gender-appropriate choices. In December, The Empty Stocking Fund invites parents and guardians of children up to 18 years old to visit Santa’s Village and select the gifts their children want. The Empty Stocking Fund also helps make classrooms learning ready by providing school supplies like pens, paper, and notebooks to both students and teachers from Atlanta's Title I schools—schools where 80% or more of the student population receives free or reduced lunch. Students receive supplies directly through the Student Supply Kit program. Each year since 2019, The Empty Stocking Fund has provided core supplies to 30,000 students, helping to create more equitable learning environments and increasing the variety of projects and learning models offered to children. The Free Teacher Store allows educators to hand select the supplies and resources that their children need at no cost to them. In addition to basic materials like pens and pencils, teachers can also select from an assortment of learning aids like algebraic models and even health hygiene items like feminine products for our older scholars. These education programs help build confidence and curiosity into learning with every pencil, flash card and notebook. And in the process, The Empty Stocking Fund relieves the financial burden on teachers and parents so everyone can focus on what really matters—learning.

Teacher preparation and teacher effectiveness are pivotal to student success. And ESF is committed to supporting as many teachers as we can. Already this year, 971 Atlanta-area teachers have received FREE school and classroom supplies from ESF. With 450 teachers scheduled to shop at our Teacher Store over the next two weeks, we’re on track to provide $710,500 worth of supplies to teachers and students at under-resourced schools. We’re grateful for our donors, partners, volunteers, and supporters, who are equally committed to equipping teachers to empower students.

Teachers have shared that not having the necessary school supplies can make students feel left out, singled out, and stressed — effecting their ability to focus. To help equip even more teachers with school and classroom supplies, we've added new Teacher Store dates to our program calendar. Each teacher served will be able to shop for up to $500 worth of school supplies at no cost to them. However, volunteers are needed to make each shopping event a success. If you have a few hours on an upcoming Tuesday, Thursday, or Saturday, please consider joining us in the Empty Stocking Fund warehouse to help teachers as they empower students. Groups are welcome!

Most teachers at Title I schools — where parents typically have less resources for school supplies — spend their own money to provide the tools their students need to succeed in class. The Empty Stocking Fund, Inc. is committed to supporting, equipping, and empowering Atlanta area teachers through our FREE Teacher Store, which makes school and classroom supplies available to teachers at no cost to them. Teachers are excited to have the Store available to them and we’re grateful to our supporters and partners who make it all possible! ___ Kristine (Coyle) Jordan Brian Nealon, CPA, CISA Joe Manusakis Elizabeth Little Karin Bursa Casey Choate Jennifer Cowart Nate Cunningham Gerard Dash Susan (Weigel) Guimbellot, CRME Rawlings Joerres Sandeep Kharidhi Jaime Sarrio McMurtrie Sara Miller Christina Moylan Corteney Stewart Bill Vogel Faith Walker Gregory Hill #Atlanta #TeacherResources #EmptyStockingFund
