Staples School Supply Drive to Benefit Local Boys & Girls Club

The Boys & Girls Clubs of America and Staples have teamed up with teen actor Jake T. Austin, for the 6th annual Staples for Students national school supply drive to “help kids get the tools they need to build great futures.”

From now until September 28, Staples customers can donate $1 or more at their local Staples store, with 100 percent of the proceeds benefiting local students at the Hicksville Youth Council's Boys & Girls Club. 

Donations can be made at the Staples in Levittown, located at 2981-2991 Hempstead Tpke.

Boys & Girls Clubs of America’s mission is to “enable all young people, especially those who need it most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens.” The Staples for Students school supply drive supports this mission by helping young people return to school prepared to learn and succeed.

To kick-start the campaign, Staples said they will donate $125,000 worth of school supplies to the program this year. 

“Staples and the Boys & Girls Clubs of America will ensure that all of the donations get to the local Hicksville Youth Council's Boys & Girls in time for the new school year,” the company said in a release.
