Companies to Classrooms Duluth

We link schools and businesses by recycling surplus inventory into free supplies for teachers and classrooms.

Companies to Classrooms Duluth (C2C) is a Duluth, Minnesota based all-volunteer run nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting students and educators in 15 area school districts, by providing classroom supplies free of charge. We do this through the operation of a free-store stocked with new and gently-used items donated by local businesses, organizations and individuals.

 How it works:  Local businesses and individuals donate excess, gently used supplies and inventories.  Examples of donated materials include office supplies, binders, folders, books, pens/pencils, paper clips, tape dispensers, chairs, tables, file cabinets and more.  All donations are merchandised in our “store."  C2C is open two afternoons each week and one Saturday a month during the school year. Teachers can shop once a month to pick up supplies for their classrooms and students, at no cost to them or the school.  We welcome public, private, and charter school educators from the greater Duluth, Minnesota and Superior, Wisconsin area. Check out our web page and facebook for a list of schools we serve, dates and hours we are open, plus items we accept.

How you can help:

• Support C2C Duluth with financial contributions. Your tax-deductible donation will enable C2C to keep the free-store open to redistribute supplies headed for the landfill into classrooms. Your support will be much appreciated, especially by those who benefit the most…the students! 
• Donate your excess goods and supplies…teachers are creative, so a wide variety of items and materials can be used by students for hands-on learning experiences in the classroom.
• Volunteer your time and talents to help operate the “free store.” Companies to Classrooms, Duluth is located at 901 E. 11th Street, Duluth, Minnesota.
