More north Alabama teachers can now shop in this foundation’s free store

A Huntsville-based foundation that helps teachers equip their classrooms – at no cost — is expanding into Athens and Limestone County.

Free 2 Teach, which says it has given away nearly $14 million in supplies during its 14-year history, announced the expansion Friday in Athens.

“Limestone County is an incredible place, and it is such a joy to partner with this community to support educators across all public schools so that together we can ensure that every child in our public schools has access to an equitable and excellent education,” said Free 2 Teach CEO Alison Kling.
