WAKE COUNTY, N.C. – DonorsChoose is doubling every dollar donated this Giving Tuesday, thanks to their partners at FamilyAlbum.

DonorsChoose is a nonprofit that helps public school educators nationwide. Teachers are able to post projects and anyone can donate as little as $1. Once the full project is funded, DonorsChoose buys the items and ships them directly to the school.

Erica Flory, a media specialist and librarian at Zebulon Elementary School in Wake County, uses DonorsChoose often. She posts projects to get books and classroom materials funded through the site.

"When you do get yours funded, it feels like Christmas because you're so excited," says Flory.

Flory says resources like this have been especially helpful this year.

"We typically have two book fairs a year,"  says Flory. "Well, last spring it didn't happen because of COVID. We're getting ready to start one online, I don't know how it's going to go. So, it's just hard."

She constantly has to keep updated materials for the changing curriculum of each grade level at the elementary school.

Flory is hoping her current projects get some traction this Giving Tuesday.
