Love this place! It's an amazing resource for new teachers. I was lucky enough to have started my first year with some supplies, but T4T really helped me gain all of the supplies I needed to help my students. I always recommend T4T to new teachers and veteran teachers.
The staff member are so friendly and helpful. I am truly grateful for this store!
I love going to this store and get stuff for my classroom.
I LOVE THIS PLACE!!!!! Just got a house and need good furniture I stopped here with a friend and bought great stuff. Thank you. I will be back
It is a wonderful and affordable venue for teacher's supplies.
This is a super awesome resource for teachers. Free and reduced items for all your teaching and educational needs.
Teachers helping teachers, that s what this place is all about! & I love it! Teaching gets expensive, everything comes out of my pocket. & this store has been a huge help!
If I were a teacher, this would be so much fun to shop for supplies and ideas.
I love all the things I find here. Truly helps me keep my classroom stocked. Since I live in the west valley, I just wish they were open on Sundays. I do understand the volunteers and workers need rest. Therefore, I am just thankful for all you do.
So glad I'm a member! Lots of amazing things for teachers. Signage to enter was a little confusing.
Great store. Everytime I come here In get inspired as a teacher. Thank you
Wonderful store for teachers with mountains of very low cost teaching materials.
Like goodwill for teachers, I could spend hours here, so many freebies for teachers, I always feel spoiled!
They are service minded store for teachers. Great for supplying and supporting a classroom economically.
This is my happy place. As an educator, I'm grateful for T4T. The membership price is more than worth the cost. I get so much for low cost, not to mention tons for freebies. I did a quick calculation of what all this would have cost retail and I saved at least $100. The box of paper would be over $50 alone and I paid $20 for 10 packs. The staff is also so helpful and friendly. I tell everyone I know about T4T.
Friendly staff, helpful, great resources for teachers
I absolutely love this place!!!!!! I can spend hours looking for amazing things to take back to my classroom Friendly people with quality items.....Highly recommend this place!
I should have became a member a long time ago!! I am happy there is a place for teachers to go to for all kinds of supplies and I love this place!! :-)
Great place!!! Interesting and unique items at good prices.
Great place for teachers, thrift store is very unique and has good finds
As a preschool teacher, I live on toilet paper rolls and tissue box crafts. This place is the best for any teachers supply needs.
A must for teachers! They have incredible items at great prices and a free section with items such as toilet paper rolls, empty kleenex boxes and such for craft projects
Awesome place and I only experienced half of the store!! Can't wait until I go back and see the whole store.
I always get plenty of materials for my craft and arts projects.
They do have some great stuff. You have to buy a membership to shop.
Plan on shopping for at least 2 hours. I can spend 3 hours here! And only come out having spent $20 with a car full of fun stuff. They keep my treasure box at school loaded. Best $35 annual fee spent ever!
In a state that has no budget for teachers, this place has been a godsend! It s a bit of a drive for me, but well worth it! They re always having free giveaways, so you always leave with your money s worth of supplies and more!
I don't know what I would do without T4T. They are a lifesaver when it comes to teaching. They always have unique and helpful resources to use! I love T4T!
Donate to them to help teachers! If you are a teacher, use them! A great resource for teachers!
Very nice people and the blankets they give away are very helpful for all kinds of things.
Worth the yearly subscription. Such a help to the classroom effectiveness
Great selection for teachers and the thrift 2has cool stuff.
I don't hate this place. I love it. My fingers slipped on the stars. This is a totally awesome place for our teachers.
This is a great place to get teaching items. Must pay for membership.
Awesome facility and great staff. This organization truly cares about teachers.
Though small shop the choices are amazing. Quality is good as well. Would be easy to spend hours in there. Probably would have to in order to see everything. Employees are courteous and helpful!
This place has so many cool and affordable items for teachers. Glad I submitted upon it!
I find so many treasures here for my students! And I've saved SO much money!
Love this place. They always have those odd little items you need for home school type of projects.
There are many useful items for teachers in this store. I always find something I can use in my classroom.
Unbelievable value for what a membership costs. If you teach at all, you owe it to yourself to at least ask around about this place.
Love this place. The gentleman in the back is extremely helpful, polite, curtious, and the list goes on. I think his name is Randy. He is always there to greet me with a smile when I drop off donations and most of the time I don't even have to get out because he is willing to help unload my car. Normally its kind of a pain in the butt dropping off goods but not here.
Website stated they closed at 4.30pm. I spent 3 days loading up my truck (that has a shell) full of donations. I drove from Buckeye all the way to Tempe and when i got there, the 2 guys at the donation drop off told me they were closing early that day and to come back the next day. They had things stacked up outside, so i didn't see why i couldn't leave my stuff there or just take the 5 minutes to accept the donation.
I ended up dropping off the stuff at another organization who were more than happy to accept my items. I won't be making that trip to Tempe again! Which is a shame as i run a business and have a lot of things i donate that are perfect for an organization like this.
Treasures 4 Teachers is an awesome place to find supplies for teaching, a lower cost and sometimes free ( check out their collection of 3 ring binders) and then go next door to their thrift store and find some delightful treasures.
Nice little store. Staff are friendly. Place looks clean. Some prices are fair.
Checked hours of operation at 10 am. Posted close time was listed as 5PM. Drove over an hour arrived at 3 pm. Store was closed manager stated it was for an event, would not allow myself or the other two people who likewise were inconvenienced to shop or even view the merchandise. I will not waste my time driving here again.
Whenever I donate items to this oganization, I always stop at the thrift store next door. Have found some good craft items there for excellent prices. All for a good cause!
Such a great cause for teachers! The employer I work with was able to donate hundreds of dollars and two carloads of items for teachers to use to help teachers obtain free school supplies for their students. It was a great feeling! You need to check out their website!! Anyone can donate and help change lives :)
Made the trek to Tempe for a different reason, and happened uoon this little gem just before closing. Oh my gosh! Love!! Super, nice, helpful friendly peeps!! Great quality and amazing variety of vintage items, modern items, and some antiques. I could have spent ten hours as opposed to ten minutes! Bonus - it supports teachers!! Seriously, all positive vibes here - don't pass up this treasure if you are anywhere near it. Completely worth the drive if you're not near it! I will be making this a regular pit stop in my rotation as I hunt for my lovely vintage wares!! Five stars, two thumbs up, it's a yes for me Dawg!!
Great bargains my wife is 2nd grade teacher she buys a lot of class room needs here at a very very good price
A great place for teachers to recycled classroom materials! Also a great place to find gently-used and new office/classroom materials. They also have a thrift store. Bargain prices!
Great selection and prices. A worthy cause to support.
Good place for the teachers to get low price material for school.
Great place for teachers to find supplies for their classroom. Great prices. Friendly service
Couldn't find any fun stuff today...but the staff is always welcoming and it's one of the best thrifts in Phoenix.
They have the best curated finds. I always find amazing stuff here!
I put 4 stars because I waited 10 minutes in line even though there was no one in front of me or being served at the register. Registers were down and checkout was exceptionally slow moving. When she almost got the register up she passed me and said next in line as if I wasn't standing there 10+ minutes already. They need to retrain or take really young or really old people off that role for efficiency.
Took way too long I almost left. With the injustices and white privilege issues we are facing today if you are white being intentional about not dismissing people of all races should be a focus! Besides these pet peeves good shopping experience.
Great place for teachers. Ver ykind and helpful staff.
One of the nicest thrift stores I've been in. Orderly, clean, great selection and friendly staff. Reasonable prices and sales go back to teachers too!
Today was a FREE furniture giveaway AND buy 1 bag of books, get 1 FREE!! They always have something fun and exciting to discover at this amazing place! I always have a car full of useful stuff when I leave this place. Today included colored copy paper ($5), cards and paper for my writing center ($5 fill a bag), and a giant Rubbermaid storage container ($3)
If you are a teacher and love to be creative using office supplies and other random items. For $30ish a year and $5 stuff a bag there is no better way to create awesome learning experiences for the students you serve!!!!
This is an amazing high end Thrift shop whose profits go to help Arizona's underpaid Teachers!
I spent hours looking through treasures. Terrific deals made my day. There is a thrift store next door too.
Love this place! Everyone is super helpful and I appreciate everyone that donates to T4T
Super creative things in here even if not a teacher! Baskets for days pins and jewelry in every drawer
Friendly people and a great mission! Highly recommended for any teacher who needs supplies for their classroom.
There are so many wonderful items here for teachers- many free- many at a very low price. I volunteer here once a month to help get supplies ready with my Rotaty ClubTempe Downtown. We love teachers and think they should spend very little from their own pockets to teach. Great place.
Love love love love. I've never found such a great store . They have the best stuff! They have very high standards and its very much obvious. Their prices are really good too . They give you a stamp card that when it's full gives you 75% off! It's amazing! The people are super helpful too .
Treasures 4 Teachers: Providing Affordable School Supplies to Arizona Educators
Treasures 4 Teachers is a nonprofit organization that has been serving the educational community in Phoenix, Tempe and surrounding areas for over a decade. The organization's mission is to provide low-cost and free school supplies to K-12 teachers in Arizona, helping them stretch their budgets further and provide better learning experiences for their students.
The idea behind Treasures 4 Teachers was born when its founder, Barbara Blalock, realized that many teachers were spending hundreds of dollars out of their own pockets each year on classroom supplies. She saw an opportunity to help these educators by collecting donated items from businesses and individuals in the community and making them available at affordable prices.
Today, Treasures 4 Teachers has grown into a thriving organization with over 2,000 members who benefit from its services. Members can shop at the organization's warehouse store where they can find everything from pencils and paper to books and art supplies. The prices are significantly lower than retail stores which helps teachers save money while still providing quality materials for their classrooms.
In addition to providing affordable school supplies, Treasures 4 Teachers also offers professional development opportunities for educators. Workshops are held throughout the year on topics such as STEM education, classroom management strategies, and curriculum planning.
One of the unique aspects of Treasures 4 Teachers is its focus on sustainability. The organization encourages members to donate gently used items that they no longer need so that they can be repurposed by other educators instead of ending up in landfills. This not only benefits the environment but also helps keep costs low for everyone involved.
If you're an educator in Arizona looking for ways to save money on classroom supplies or interested in attending professional development workshops focused on improving your teaching skills then becoming a member of Treasures 4 Teachers is definitely worth considering! Membership fees start at just $35 per year which includes access to all workshops as well as discounts on purchases made at the warehouse store.
