The LP PENCIL Box is a free school supply store for educators that provides learning materials for impoverished students in the Metropolitan Nashville Public Schools. We are able to provide educational & art supplies through the support we receive from local businesses, organizations and individuals throughout the year.



The LP PENCIL Box is a partnership between the Nashville business community and the city's public schools. We encourage organizations and individuals to donate both new and gently used school supplies, surplus office supplies, and to recycle art supplies by giving them to the store.

LP PENCIL Box is a collaboration with the LP Foundation, the charitable arm of LP Building Products. They provide a grant that matches other support from businesses, organizations and individuals in order to encourage the community to support the program.

The store is located in McCann Alternative Center, 1300 56th Ave. North. Click here for directions.
