History

Teachers Warehouse has experienced exponential growth since it opened in 2004 as a project of Bloomington Rotary Club. TW initially targeted MCCSC Title 1 elementary teachers and counted 75 shopping visits its first year. Discovering a broader need, TW expanded to serve MCCSC grade K-8 teachers. Other Rotary clubs and retired teachers' groups assumed sponsorship for four more counties' teachers, extending the service area to Brown, Greene, Lawrence, and Owen counties. In 2015 Greene County added a satellite TW center in Linton, sponsored by retired teachers. In January 2018, grade 9-12 public school educators became eligible to shop at Teachers Warehouse. In July 2022, teachers working for the Metropolitan School District of Martinsville became eligible to shop, thanks to the support of the Martinsville Rotary.

In 2024, Board member and volunteer Sara Laughlin was interviewed for an episode of The 812 Show.
