About Teacher Closet
All Heart Inc. LOVES Teachers! Teacher Closet is an initiative designed to bridge the gap between our community and classroom teachers.
Did you know that over 90 percent of teachers spend an average of $500 on classroom supplies throughout the year? (National Education Association). Teacher Closet allows our community a year round opportunity to provide continuous support to teachers by providing a free shopping experience for needed classroom supplies. We’ve partnered with teachers and formed a list of common items that are often purchased out of pocket and stocked those items for teachers to “shop” for free.
It is our hope that this initiative helps our teachers feel supported by their community. By opening up Teacher Closet, we also hope to be a positive platform that initiates ongoing conversations about the conditions that affect public school classroom teachers.
Teacher Closet is a community resource available to ANY school employee with a valid school district ID. To shop Teacher Closet, please email: [email protected] to make an appointment. Teacher Closet is located at Morningstar Storage on FM2818. 425 N. Harvey Mitchell Parkway, Bryan, TX.
Teacher Closet is ALWAYS accepting donations! We accept new and like-new items. We rely on our community to purchase and donate these items and even have an Amazon Wishlist for easy online shopping. Donations can be dropped off at the Morningstar Storage Office during their normal business hours.

Teacher Closet was a dream of our team mate and initiative team lead, Monica Martinez. She had seen other models happen but she wanted to create something that allowed more engagement between communities and teachers.
Thank you, Monica, for your courage!
