Memphis City Schools’ Partner Sharing Center collects and distributes school and office supplies (including furniture) and other learning materials donated by local businesses to MCS teachers to enhance their classrooms.

The idea is beautifully simple: instead of discarding furniture, office supplies and other materials that could be used for learning, businesses can make a significant impact in our schools by donating the items to the Partner Sharing Center. The donated materials are stored at the Partner Sharing Center, which opens on scheduled days each school year so teachers can collect the supplies they need to enhance academic achievement.

Students, teachers and donors all benefit from the Partner Sharing Center. Students benefit by receiving supplies that their parents may not have been able to afford. Teachers benefit from not having to spend their personal funds to supplement their classroom supplies. Donors benefit because they are able to receive a tax deduction for their donation.

What the Partner Sharing Center Needs

Pens, pencils, scissors, glue, notebooks, paper, crayons, markers, paints, poster board, calculators, books and other educational supplies and materials are all welcome donations, along with larger items such as school-appropriate furniture.

If you can donate any of these items, or if you have other supplies that you think could be used to enhance learning in our schools, please call the Partner Sharing Center at (901)320-6281.
