[1]The joy of choosing new school supplies doesn’t extend to all students during the back-to-school season. That’s why Staples Canada [1], and its customers look forward to helping children in the community receive the tools they need to learn, during the 6thannual Back-to-School Supply Drive [2], which begins on July 23. Since its inception, Canada’s largest office supply retailer has helped raise over $3-million for students in need.
“When the school bell rings, not all children will have the supplies they need to succeed. Help give students-in-need the confidence to learn, by making a donation at your local Staples store,” said Steve Matyas, president of Staples, Canada.
Every Staples store in Canada will collect funds for the Back-to-School Supply Drive, and all donations collected, will remain in your local community.
“We hope Canadians keep up their good will by continuing to support the School Supply Drive,” says Matyas. “Last year, we raised over one-million dollars, and we would like to match or exceed that figure again this year. Giving back within the communities where we operate has always been important to us, and we want to continue to help support children’s education.”
Customers can make a donation from July 23 until September 6 at any Staples store, and in Quebec from July 31 until September 4.
