Luke Combs helped a kindergarten teacher in Raleigh, North Carolina, clear her Amazon school supply "wish" list.

Kelly Kirk, who like Combs attended Appalachian State University, had tweeted the singer asking if he’d “support an Appalachian Alumni with her teacher Amazon wish list.” The #clearthelist social media movement started in 2019 and began as a private Facebook group for educators that grew to reach donors and corporations to help clear supply lists that don’t fall within a school district’s budget for teachers.

Combs tweeted, "Cleared it for ya. Good luck to your students, and GO APPS!"

“OH MY GOSH!” Kirk responded. “You have made my year Luke! THANK YOU doesn’t seem like enough! Please know that you have made such a difference in my student’s lives!”

Kirk’s Amazon wish list remains public as does her Donors Choose page. See the list HERE.
