Staples Canada is banding together with customers and local charities for the 10th annual Staples for Students School Supply Drive.
"On Saturday, Aug. 29, we are having a fill the bus campaign," says a release issued by Staples North Battleford. "During this event there will be a school bus on location to help bring awareness to our School Drive. As well, we will have a bake sale with all proceeds going to our Staples For Students program. Anyone who makes a donation on Saturday will be entered to win an Ipod nano."
Customers can make donations from July 17 to Sept. 13.
Staples for Students is an annual campaign held at all Staples Canada locations to purchase and collect school supplies for students who need assistance. Donated supplies and funds stay in the local community and are given to students in need through local partner The United Way.
Staples Canada's goal this year is to raise $1.7 million, which will bring its rolling total to $10 million in 10 years.
Staples for Students is one of Staples Canada’s key charitable programs and is a Staples tradition. Visit staples.ca/supplydrive to learn more.
