Did you know that most public schoolteachers spend an average of $1,000 a year from their own pockets on supplies for their classroom? According to the United Way of Greater Chattanooga, as many as 58 percent of Hamilton County’s public school students cannot afford to purchase school supplies.

To help take some of this financial burden off teachers, the Hamilton County Parent-Teacher Association sponsors the Teacher Supply Depot, at which teachers may “shop” for free from donated school supplies.
