Teachers Harvest, a program of Second Harvest of South Georgia, is free school supply store for South Georgia public school teachers. Our program is aimed at breaking the cycle of poverty by providing area classrooms with an assortment of school supplies and equipment donated to us by both local and national businesses and the Kids in Need Foundation. Since our opening, we’ve given away nearly $4 million in products and served nearly 3,000 teachers. TH strives to ensure that kids have what they need to succeed in school, as education is a huge component in breaking the cycle of poverty that plagues our area.
Teachers, guidance counselors or media specialists working in a public school in our service region are eligible to shop with us. Your eligibility is based on your position and on the location of the school in which you work NOT where you reside. Click HERE to see a map of our service area.
