Stamps for Kids

Stamps for Kids is organized to supply Free Stamp Collecting Kits and stamp supplies to students via parents and teachers in Chicago. In addition to our annual Youth Booth at Chicagopex, occasional workshops and giveaways occur on a frequent but irregular basis. To request supplies, please email Andrew.Oleksiuk (at) gmail.com and we will attempt to help you. You must be a teacher in an elementary school in the city of Chicago, or be the parent of a student and resident of the City of Chicago.

Each Stamp Collecting Kit contains: bag of stamps, 3 stock pages, stamp tongs, stamp magnifying glass, 25 first day covers, stamp collecting guide.

We also accept donations of stamps in bulk and pickups are available.
