About Us

Crayons to Computers was founded to address a pressing need in the community. Thousands of children in greater Cincinnati cannot afford basic supplies for school. Teachers spend between $500 and $1,000 of their own money every year to purchase supplies for their students and classrooms. C2C bridges the gap between the great need and available resources by operating a free store for teachers in the greater Cincinnati area. We hope you will spend time on our website to learn more!
