JRECK Subs to clear five teachers’ wishlists in back-to-school giveaway

The third annual #ClearTheList campaign honors the brand’s roots in education

SYRACUSE, NY — As classrooms prepare for a new school year, JRECK Subs is proud to launch its third annual #ClearTheList giveaway, a back-to-school campaign designed to support educators by fulfilling their Amazon classroom supply wishlists.

Founded in 1967 by five teachers in Northern New York, JRECK Subs was built on a passion for education and great food. For the third consecutive year, the brand is paying it forward by selecting five teachers, in honor of the five teachers who founded JRECK Subs, to receive a fully cleared wishlist of supplies, plus a $20 JRECK Subs gift card.

“Supporting educators is at the heart of who we are,” said Bob Piddock, President at JRECK Subs. “This initiative is a tribute to the five teachers who started it all, and a reminder that every sub we serve is rooted in community.”

Now more than ever, teachers are spending their own money to stock classrooms with essentials.

According to recent data, the average U.S. teacher spends over $600 a year on school supplies, making initiatives like #ClearTheList a meaningful way to directly impact teachers and their classrooms.

Educators, school staff, and community members are encouraged to participate in this year’s giveaway. Teachers can nominate themselves, or colleagues and supporters can submit a nomination on their behalf by sharing an Amazon Classroom Wishlist link through the official campaign post on JRECK Subs’ social media channels.
