Supplies drop-off benefits Boys & Girls Club

DoSomething.org and Staples are teaming up with teen actress and recording artist Bella Thorne, for the 5th annual Staples for Students national school supply drive, to help kids in need. The drive encourages Hollister young people to collect school supplies and drop them off at their nearest Staples store starting July 1 through September 15.
All school supplies and donations will be given locally to the Boys & Girls Clubs of Monterey County to ensure they get into the hands of disadvantaged youth just in time for the new school year.
The local Staples store for supply drop off is located at 1725 Airline Highway.
To kick-start the campaign, Staples will donate $125,000 worth of school supplies to the program this year. In addition, Staples customers can get involved by donating $1 or more at any Staples store, with 100 percent of the proceeds benefiting local students in need.Each Staples store will be matched to a local educational non-profit organization. DoSomething.org and Staples will ensure that all the donations get to these partners in time for the new school year.
Since 2008, the campaign has raised more than $2 million for hundreds of thousands of students in need throughout the country.
The Staples for Students campaign is offering easy, innovative and new ways for teens to get involved in this year’s programs. By visiting www.staplesforstudents.org, teens can get all the information they need to take action.
