Board of Directors | WebmasterAbout Us:
CORE, Inc. is a new and creative non-profit organization created to provide a community where business leaders and educators work together to provide materials, services, and learning opportunities that enhance the education of Indiana students.
CORE invites you to be a member of this unique shopping experience. A $25 tax deductible membership opens the door to creative educators. Teachers, coaches, home school parents, boy and girl scout leaders, and craft directors are all welcome to join CORE and shop for items donated by local businesses for a fraction of the original cost.

Do you have large quantities of materials that are often thrown away?
- Do you have office supplies that may get pitched because of incoming upgraded supplies?
- Do you have perfectly good promotional items that are tossed after the promotion is over?

Who we are:
We are Lori Heiges and Julie Williams, high school teachers in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Throughout our years of teaching, we saw a great need to redirect surplus materials from local businesses and put them into the hands of educators. Our vision led to a recycling organization like no other. CORE is a new and creative organization that will act as a center where business leaders and educators work together to provide surplus materials, volunteer services, and learning opportunities that enhance the education of students. This partnership is the CORE principle of our organization. We are inviting you to be part of this new organization as we collect surplus materials, monetary donations, and build new community connections.
What We Believe:
- Surplus materials from businesses are plentiful and are needed in education
- Educators and business leaders need opportunities to network and share ideas
- Volunteer opportunities are needed in both the business and educational sectors
- Hands-on teaching is a proven and preferred method of instruction
- Teachers need a steady supply of materials to create effective hands-on
