Reviews for Crayons to Classrooms
Crayons to classrooms is a wonderful organization! Our school receives so many supplies from Crayons to classrooms every year. Since our school is an inner-city school, our students really benefit from these supplies.

The "store" is very nicely organized and easy to "shop" my students and I need and use everything, we get. Most of my students do not have supplies, this really helps our classroom.
I am a teacher that gets the privilege of visiting this organization. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The volunteers are always ready to assist and I get much needed school supplies for my students. I look forward to visiting Crayons to Classrooms. I know that the entire staff at my school enjoys their visits.

I work for Dayton Public Schools and was told staff could go to C2C to gather needed materials. I was able to get several items that I could disperse to the children I serve. The staff were friendly and helpful and the materials were ones that benefitted the kids.
