The Brooklyn Superhero Supply Co. is a superheroic kind of place. It supports kids and teachers in so many ways AND sells superhero supplies! Sound like an odd combination? Well, yes, but if you know writer David Egger’s work (who founded it), it all makes a little bit of sense. The store sells capes, grappling hooks,
antimatter, and more and all the proceeds from the store go directly to
826NYC, a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting students
ages 6-18 with their creative and expository writing skills, and to
helping teachers inspire their students to write.
826NYC provides drop-in
tutoring, field trips, after-school workshops, in-schools tutoring,
help for English language learners, and assistance with student
publications. All of the programs are free.
