WHAT Is Tools for Schools?Tools for Schools (TFS) provides a place where individuals and businesses can donate school supplies or office supplies. Schools and organizations supporting disadvantaged children choose needed items. Children get school supplies, teachers get equipment for their classrooms, and it is all diverted from the landfill. Special Donations For SchoolsCarlson Glass & Mirror in Wheaton has scrap plexiglass available for all teachers & non-profit organizations. The scrap pieces of plexiglass are available in all sizes. They are ideal for art projects, covering models, making boxes and other useful ideas. Schools can pick up the scrap plexiglass directly from Carlson Glass & Mirror at 111 E. Front St. in Wheaton on Saturdays, from 9 am to 1 pm.
Have Furniture or other Big Items?Our Tools for Schools room is not big enough for furniture, gym equipment, copy machines, or other big items. If you have these items, don't throw them away!. Please post it on our book rescue newsgroup.
