What is the HUBBARd's
CUPBOARD Program?
Hubbard’s Cupboard
Students without access to adequate resources often face insurmountable challenges. When students have the tools necessary to achieve, the possibilities are endless. In fact, according to the 2025 Educator Survey Impact Report conducted by Crayons and Beyond (“Crayons”), formerly Crayons to Computers, teachers observe that once resources are available:
-
90% say students are more engaged in learning as a result of the Hubbard's Cupboard
-
89% see students' self-esteem increase as a result
-
94% say the products received from the cupboard allow them to enrich their students' learning experiences
Hubbard's Cupboard, in collaboration with Crayons and Beyond, is an on-site, on-demand resource for students and teachers, providing immediate access to school supplies, hygiene products and healthy snacks. Cupboards are stocked regularly by the program's volunteers, also known as Cupboard Captains, approximately twice a month during the school year.
HC HQ
We are beyond excited to officially operate the Hubbard's Cupboard program out of our new program space, also known as Hubbard's Cupboard Headquarters, or "HC HQ" as we like to say.
This dedicated program space will serve as the engine that powers the program's growth to 70 schools by 2030. The warehouse is designed to make packing and loading Cupboard orders easier on our volunteers and staff, maximizing efficiency and sustainability for years to come. It also serves as a hub for our daily volunteers, a flexible meeting space, and a venue for larger meetings, tours, volunteer events, teacher workshops, and so much more!
We could not be more grateful to our program partner, Crayons and Beyond, for their efforts in getting this space designed and fully operational for the program's needs.
In Collaboration With
We’ve received heartwarming
feedback from those we serve:
"I have many students who lack food at home and are frequently complaining of stomach aches due to hunger. I can send them to the office to get a snack from the Cupboard, and they return more ready to learn."
