How can I get companies/people to donate art supplies?

I am the teacher of an after school art club at a middle school. It’s a public school, so 90% of art supplies comes from my own home and the money comes from my pocket.

I also don’t get paid for doing it.

I adore my students, and I would love it if they could get a good art education. Art club is the only one they get in school– there is no money for actual art classes, which is really sad.

Is there a way I can get places like Jo-ann’s or Michaels to donate old art supplies?

What else can I do?

I am in Los Angeles.
