WS/FCS EDUCATOR WAREHOUSE

We need community support throughout the year.

 

The Educator Warehouse is a collaboration of Forsyth Education Partnership, Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Council of PTAs and WS/FCS. At this facility teachers 'shop' thousands of donated items for use in their classrooms. Donations come from local businesses, organizations, and individuals. 

We ask for new and gently-used school supplies and/or monetary donations, to have a direct impact on the classrooms in our community. Please support our teachers for the 2017-2018 school year by making a donation or volunteering. Contact  educatorwarehouse@forsythedpartnership.org for more information or call 671-1078.

Located in a pod behind Diggs-Latham Elementary School, the Educators’ Warehouse is open Tuesdays and Thursdays from 3:30 – 5:30 PM on school days and the first and third Saturdays of each month from 9:00 - 11:00 AM from late August through the first of June. Teachers sign up online to visit the Warehouse on a specific day. All classroom teachers are allowed four visits per school-year (once per quarter) and can shop for a designated amount of supplies during each visit. Because we rely on donations, the inventory is always changing!  

HOW CAN YOU HELP?
Donate!  The Educator Warehouse depends on the donations of supplies, funds, and time from our community.  For a list of suggested donations, visit the Donate page.  In addition to classroom supplies, we need funds to supplement the donated supplies and cover our nominal overhead expenses.  All donations are 100% tax-deductible.   Make checks payable to Forsyth Education Partnership  and mail to: Educator Warehouse,  PO Box 141 - Winston-Salem, NC 27102.

Volunteer!  Aside from the part-time warehouse manager, the Educator Warehouse is a volunteer operation.  To ensure that we are open on a regular basis, we need a dedicated volunteer force.  Whether you can commit to one day a week or just once a month, please consider volunteering some time with the Educator Warehouse.  When you see the smiles and gratitude on the faces of the teachers, you'll be glad you did!   For more information about volunteering, email educatorwarehouse@forsythedpartnership.org or call 671-1078.
