Donate Supplies
Help Stock Our Shelves
Teachers work tirelessly to provide the best possible learning experiences for their students, often purchasing classroom supplies with their own money. By donating supplies, you can help ease that burden and ensure educators have access to the resources they need to inspire, engage, and support their students every day.
Your generosity helps brighten classrooms throughout our community.

“My students are LOVING the fidget toys! If I would have known how much they love them, I would have gotten two on each of my visits! They also are loving the puzzle! As a matter of fact, four students hung out in my room after school today to work on the puzzle and chatted away. What a blessing, Sunshine Supplies! Thank you so much, and thank you to Sunshine Supplies sponsors.”
Jodi Haskins, Decatur Christian School
“Yesterday was one of those classroom days I’ll remember for a long time. After reading Balloons Over Broadway and learning about the history behind the Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade, my students poured their hearts into creating their own parade balloons, and then proudly marched them around the school for all grades to see. Watching their ideas take shape - the laughter, the teamwork, the pride - it felt like pure magic.
And that magic was possible because of the generosity of Sunshine Supplies for Teachers. I was able to pick up balloons, pipe cleaners, googly eyes, feathers, tape, construction paper, yarn, glue, and even cardboard boxes from their art section… all at no cost. As a teacher, moments like this mean everything. To know there’s a place that believes in us, supports us, and helps turn big ideas into unforgettable experiences for kids, it’s incredible.
Thank you, Sunshine Supplies, for making classrooms brighter, for easing the weight teachers carry, and for giving my students a day filled with joy, creativity, and pride. I’m so deeply grateful for your continued support.”
