What is Bag it Forward?
As students head back to school this fall, many will head out to shop for brand new, shiny school supplies. But some will not have the resources they need to be successful. That’s where you and Elmer’s come in. This year, let’s join together and Bag It Forward, by picking up an extra bag of school supplies and donating it locally in your community.
This summer, Elmer’s is teaming up with bloggers across the country to kickoff the Bag it Forward movement. These bloggers are gathering school supply bags for families, organizations and teachers, and encouraging others to join in. In addition, Elmer’s is donating one product for every “Like” on the Elmer’s Facebook page to the Kids In Need foundation, and an additional item for every view the video on the Kids In Need tab receives.
Join us in the #BagItForward movement and give someone you know a bag of school supplies! Together we can make a difference.
From July 25 through Sept. 1, for each “like” on the Elmer’s Facebook page, the company will donate a product to the Foundation’s national network of free stores, where teachers from disadvantaged schools can “shop” for free for school supplies. Products to be donated include a variety of glues, foam board, project supplies and pencil sharpeners. If you already like the page, we’ll make a contribution on your behalf, but you can donate again by watching a video on the Elmer’s Kids In Need Facebook tab and sharing it with your friends and family.
Elmer's is a Upromise partner and that every time you purchase an Elmer's or Krazy Glue product with your registered drug or grocery card, a percentage of your purchase will be put into your Upromise account. More information can be found here - http://www.elmers.com/about/special-offers
When, I took Julia school supply shopping, we were given the opportunity to also shop for a child in need.
Thank you, Elmer's for this amazing opportunity.
It was so fun to take Julia and Nate this year. They loved checking off their list and helping. I think it took a lot more time this year, but that's ok. It was nice to have company in the craziness!
They were very thoughtful about what they were chosing for children in need.
Since Elmer's was sponsoring this program, the kids especially wanted to purchase some Elmer's.
They had an amazing selection:
School Glue
Painters Markers
All Sizes of Foam Boards

Nate loves scanning. For every item, he and Julia look up to see what has been scanned.
