I became a regular volunteer with Red Apple Supplies this summer and had an awesome time! You really feel like you are making a difference and helping teachers and students. After going through the public school system, I felt like it was a great way to give back to the teachers that taught me, and pay it forward to help students learn in a better environment. There's a lot of issues teachers face today, and it is SO worth my time to see them getting free school supplies and lightening their burden. STRONGLY recommend becoming a regular volunteer, it's nice to see familiar faces week after week and making great friends while working towards a good cause!
