Proper supplies lead to improved student outcomes
Peely’s Teacher Supply House helps ensure that students and teachers have the resources they need for success. Teachers can order school and classroom supplies at no cost. These are items that teachers would otherwise have to buy with their own money. In these challenging economic times, many families struggle to afford the necessities that students need for school. When students come to class without supplies, teachers fill the gap.
Since Peely’s opened in Fall 2024, we have filled over 4,840 orders and saved teachers over $10,450.
At this time, Peely’s Teacher Supply House is open to Greater Albany Public Schools teachers in Pre-K through 5th grade. We’re excited to be expanding to provide free school supplies to all grades!

Peely’s was established in September 2024 to help provide free school and classroom supplies for teachers in the Greater Albany Public Schools District. Currently, there is only one other teacher resource center in Oregon – Schoolhouse Supplies, located in Portland. They serve the entirety of Portland area schools.

How it’s run
Teachers shop online through our software platform once per semester. We prepare the order, and the district courier picks it up to deliver to that teacher’s school. We appreciate the district courier helping us with this program!
Funding
Peely’s is run on donations, sponsorships, and grants. We are greatly appreciative of community support! To learn more about sponsorships, see below.

We couldn’t make such a big impact for kids without the generous support of our community sponsors. Because our sponsors have partnered with us, we can offer classroom grants to teachers, enrichment opportunities to kids and scholarships to graduating seniors.
Thank you!
