Atlanta Community Food Bank (ACFB) has a program called Kids in Need, where they give free supplies to teachers in low-income schools. Your principal needs to submit the name of the school or organization in order to qualify, but it is definitely worth it! All the supplies are brand new and they have stuff for Pre-K through 12th grade.

Shopping is by appointment only, Tuesday-Friday from 2:45-4:45pm.
Check it out, and thanks again Kyle!
New teachers don't always realize this when they go: the best freebies are industrial-type supplies like huge rolls of paper towels, tissue, and such. These items are hard to find and/or expensive.
