We at the Kids in Need Foundation believe that every child in America should have equal opportunity and access to a quality education. We partner with teachers and students in under-resourced schools to provide the support teachers need to teach and learners need to learn.


Kids In Need Foundation (KINF) operates its flagship teacher resource center in Roseville, MN. Our resource center provides educators at eligible schools with critical supplies, at ZERO cost to them, to empower teaching and educational success.

Teachers can go through the store and choose from a full array of products. Upon arrival, KINF team members will explain the shopping process and be available to answer any questions.

We are looking for volunteers who are able to commit to 2 hours per week to either help us restock our shelves or check teachers in and out.

Description

Kids In Need Foundation believes every child in America should have equal opportunity and access to a quality education.

What is unequivocally true: education is the gateway to empowering students to reach their full potential. Since 1995, Kids In Need Foundation (KINF) has provided the school supplies and learning resources needed to level the playing field, the only national nonprofit to focus its efforts on the country's most underserved schools, those with an enrollment of 70% or more participating in the National School Lunch Program (NSLP).

We strategically mobilize our efforts and resources through our foundational programs-Supply A Teacher, Supply A Student, and Second Responder-and our National Network of Resource Centers, a collection of more than 40 well-established, mission-driven organizations across the country. Each year through our programs and Network, we serve an estimated 5 million students, 205,000 teachers, and provide over $70 million in product at no cost to schools or teachers.
