We sell fresh local greens and give used books and clothes a second life. Every dollar of profit goes to laptops, textbooks and school supplies for students who need them.
Founded in 2026 by Newark Academy high school students and run by them day to day, under a board of trustees that includes an independent trustee.
Farm-fresh vegetables from a local family farm, plus used school books and gently-used clothes — sold at our Saturday market stall. Unsold produce goes to local community meal programs or other nonprofit organizations; nothing is wasted.

debate4all.orgEvery program feeds one fund, and the fund has one purpose: the educational needs of students from families facing hardship.
At the stall, by check or by Zelle. Books and clothes count too.
Operating costs are covered by our families, so profit passes through whole.
School counselors identify students in need. We never choose recipients ourselves.
Adult trustees review each grant under a written conflict-of-interest policy.
A laptop, textbooks, supplies. Recipients stay anonymous.
Students plan the stall, pick up the produce, sort the books, run the sales and keep the records. Adults serve as trustees — approving grants and signing what the law requires — and otherwise stay out of the way.
We publish a simple annual report every year: what we sold, what we donated, and how many students we helped.
