Apple-Mart is a store created for Lake County Schools by the Education Foundation of Lake County where teachers shop for free. Each year, new teachers in the district receive a shopping pass allowing them to shop once a month. Passes are also given to principals to distribute among their teachers. The average value of each visit ranges between $95 and $150. The stores are run by volunteers and stocked by donations from the community.
Teachers must bring their school ID and an Apple-Mart shopping card. For questions or to request a shopping card email: edfoundation@lake.k12.fl.us
