KidSmart is an amazing resource in St. Louis. They have supplied over 100,000 children with school supplies at no cost. Kidsmart allows approved teachers to shop once a month for free to pick up school supplies. These supplies are then taken back to the children in the classrooms most in need. Kidsmart cannot operate without donations of cash, school and office supplies, sports equipment, arts and craft items, and books. Teachers are amazingly resourceful… items other may think of as trash, teachers can put to use in the classroom. Volunteers keep the free store stocked and help teachers check-out.
