How SOS Works

Supply Our Schools is designed to perfectly match donors with the needs of students in under-privileged school districts. The idea is simple: have teachers identify the specific needs of their classrooms and let donors decide which supplies they would like purchase for donation.

The SOS process is similar to an online wedding registry, except that it is built for teachers. Instead of brides identifying which tumblers they want, teachers create Supply Lists specifying the supplies their students need.

Donors view these Supply Lists and "purchase" specific supplies from the Supply Lists.

SOS then buys the “purchased” supplies and has them delivered directly to the teacher.

Once the supplies are received, the teacher confirms receipt and has their students post online thank you notes, which the donor can then read.
