Victoria Gomez waits at a “checkout” table as two volunteers count up her finds: puzzles, felt, storage bins and wooden shelves. “My last [credit] card bill was $1,000 and that’s just from last month, just for school supplies and things for my classroom,” she tells them.

Gomez is now a kindergarten teacher at The Chatsworth School in Baltimore County. In her two years as a teacher, she has switched grade levels three times.
