Our Solution
First Book teamed up with the Baltimore Teachers Union to create school

“care closets” of essential items.
From coats and hats, to bars of soap and personal care items, these closets meet students’ basic needs, while also removing the stigma from kids who can’t afford them otherwise.
Watch how some of the inspiring educators at New Era Academy are making sure their kids are getting what they need this season, because they know that being a teacher means more than providing knowledge.
