    Colorful Stationaries from YOOBI @YoobiGives

    What a great concept! Yoobi is a new colorful and vibrant school supply brand that makes learning fun while also giving back. Yoobi means “one for you. one for me”—for every Yoobi item you buy, a Yoobi item is donated to a classroom in need right here in the U.S. It’s that simple!

    Many kids in the U.S. don’t have access to basic school supplies, unless teachers pay for them out of their own pocket. We don’t think that’s right and we bet you don’t either!

    Yoobi believes that it should be a right, not a privilege, for every child in the U.S. to have creative and colorful tools for learning. Together we can make it happen.
