Helping Teachers Help Kids

We provide FREE classroom supplies to public school teachers across the North Bay so their students can succeed.

Mission

At Teacher Resource Center of the North Bay (TRCNB), we help local educators access free classroom supplies so they can spend less out of pocket and focus more on teaching. Based in Napa, our resource center serves public school teachers across the North Bay with practical materials that support student learning every day.

How to help

There are several ways to support TRCNB’s work in local classrooms:

  • Donate quality new or gently used school and office supplies.

  • Join our volunteer team.

  • Participate in our wine bottle tin foil recycling program.

  • Make a monetary donation.

Donations of supplies

We accept bulk donations of quality products that can be used in the classroom, including new and gently used office and school supplies. Donations can be dropped off at our resource center in Napa, by appointment; please call or email to schedule your drop-off.

Tin Foil Recycling

TRCNB’s Tin Foil Recycling Program helps turn recycled wine bottle capsules into support for local classrooms. We provide collection buckets to participating wineries and businesses, pick up materials on a quarterly basis or as needed, and work with a local recycler to turn those donations into funding for our mission.

Please contact trcnb1@gmail.com to express interest in getting involved.

Volunteer

We offer flexible volunteer opportunities for a variety of interests and schedules. Volunteer roles may include stocking and organizing supplies, helping distribute materials to teachers, supporting administrative tasks, assisting with donation pick-up or delivery, and helping with the Tin Foil Recycling Program.

Please contact trcnb1@gmail.com to express interest in getting involved.

Community Partners

We are grateful for the support of our community partners, local businesses, wineries, volunteers, and donors who help make this work possible. Their partnership helps us keep classroom supplies flowing to teachers and students across the North Bay.
