Art is a necessity program
FREE TEACHER RESOURCES CENTER
The Art of Recycle and Little Art Bank has a program that is designed to stretch the dollars of non-profit organizations’ and teachers' budgets by finding and sourcing arts, crafts and teaching materials for their art programs. Science Explorers is an after School Program that partners with Art of Recycle and provides many of the materials for the free teacher program.
This program is available to local individuals and organizations that are directly involved in programs that teach and assist children, seniors, and people with special needs who’s funding is limited when it comes to purchasing arts and craft teacher supplies. In 2018 Art of Recycle supported almost 800 schools and organizations with free arts, crafts and teaching materials. Teachers and organizational leaders are paying for needed resources out of their own pockets because of a lack of funding due to budget cuts. In 2018 Art of Recycle assisted over 1200 teachers and organizational leaders in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, and beyond by giving them teacher resources from your donated materials, our excess, for FREE. Almost $90,000 at Art of Recycle nickel and dime prices. In 2020, Art of Recycle has already provided schools, organizations and homeschool parents with over $300,000 in resources. YouR donations have helped many schools and organizations programs to thrive!
