Tools for Teachers

Florida Insurance Agency recently joined an amazing community effort to support local teachers. We volunteered to pack classroom supply boxes for the Tools for Teachers program. This initiative provides free school supplies to teachers across Escambia County.

Tools for Teachers is an online classroom supply store run by the Escambia County Public Schools Foundation. It stocks items that educators often buy with their own money. Teachers were surveyed to find the most needed supplies, like pencils, glue sticks, ziplock bags, paper towels, and snacks.

During our volunteer day, our team worked with other community members to pack boxes filled with items teachers requested. In this effort, we carefully organized supplies so each teacher would receive exactly what they asked for. Additionally, we enjoyed connecting with other volunteers and learning more about the foundation’s mission.

Moreover, Tools for Teachers helps reduce the financial burden on educators. Many teachers spend hundreds of dollars each year on classroom supplies. This program gives them the tools they need without using their personal funds.

We are proud to support a cause that directly impacts students and teachers in our community. Because well-equipped classrooms help students learn and thrive, every donated pencil and notebook matters. Furthermore, by giving our time, we hope to encourage others to get involved too.

Thank you to everyone at Tools for Teachers and the Escambia County Public Schools Foundation for organizing this effort. We look forward to continuing our support of programs that strengthen education in Pensacola and beyond.
