This year, Austin Blessings Co-op is excited to introduce a new way to show appreciation for the educators in our community—by donating a Teacher Tote! For a $40 donation, you’ll be providing a beautifully crafted, eco-conscious tote from our new nonprofit partner, Oceanbags, along with a fragrant three-wick Bath & Body Works candle tucked inside. These special gifts will be delivered to teachers in the same under-resourced school districts and neighborhoods where we’re distributing over 1,200 Smart Start backpacks. With a $25 donation, you can equip a child with a backpack filled with school supplies, and with an additional $40, you can bless one of their teachers with a heartfelt thank-you. Join us in supporting both students and the teachers who pour so much into their lives—because they both deserve to feel seen, valued, and celebrated.
