Staples Hosting School Supply Drive

Roswell residents have an easy way to help children in need receive school supplies.

Boys & Girls Clubs of America and Staples have teamed with teen actor Jake T. Austin,for the 6th annual Staples for Students national school supply drive.

Through Sept. 28, customers can donate $1 or more with 100 percent of the proceeds benefiting local students at the Boys and Girls Clubs of Metro Atlanta. 

Staples in Roswell is located at 1125 Woodstock Road.

“I’m so excited to team up with Staples and Boys & Girls Clubs of America for this great cause,” said Jake T. Austin.  “I can’t imagine starting school without the right supplies, so I’m rallying fellow teens to help make a difference in their communities by making sure students have the essential supplies they need to succeed.” 

To kick-start the campaign, Staples will donate $125,000 worth of school supplies to the program this year, and all donations will get to the local Boys and Girls Clubs of Metro Atlanta in time for the new school year.

Teens are also encouraged to spread the word on social media by visiting the Staples for Students Facebook page where Jake will take followers through an exciting series of interactive missions to help drive donations. As missions are completed, teens will be rewarded with donations on their behalf to Boys & Girls Clubs, coupons for school supplies and opportunities to participate in sweepstakes.
