The Welman Project: Where teachers shop for free

Creating a welcoming and effective learning environment often requires teachers to gather classroom supplies, educational materials and creative resources before the school year begins.

The Welman Project, a nonprofit organization now located at 2109 S. Main St. in Fort Worth, has helped teachers throughout North Texas communities for over 10 years by providing educators with donated materials and making them available to educators at no cost.

The organization has recently moved from its longtime location off Vickery Boulevard in Fort Worth to its new location within the historic Kimball Milling Company building on South Main.
