Nonprofit gets supplies to schools in need

Kent County Hundreds of teachers have received an average of $750 in school supplies thanks to nonprofit The StoreHouse, 4411 Plainfield Ave. NE in Grand Rapids, which runs a resource store for teachers.

Started by Jessica Johns, a former teacher, membership is available to schools that have 70% or more students qualified to receive free or reduced lunch. Full-time teaching staff members at schools can shop for classroom products once a school year. In addition, school administrators gain access to bulk building-related supplies.
