Did you know that every time you shop at Walmart, you can round up your change and donate it to the Clay Education Foundation?

These donations help fund our Tools for Schools program, which has served 1,087 teachers so far this school year! One elementary school teacher said after visiting Tools for Schools, "Thank you from the bottom of my heart, and my wallet!"
