NORTH CAROLINA — Lidl US has joined forces with a North Carolina teen in a new campaign to help provide 100,000 notebooks to underserved schools, the grocer announced.

As part of the initiative, Lidl shoppers, including those at nine Charlotte metro locations, will have an opportunity to buy and donate a bundle of five notebooks for $2.50 when they arrive at the store's checkout. The donations will be matched by Lidl and donated to Kids In Need Foundation.

The initiative was spearheaded by teen Jack Werdann of Weddington, North Carolina, who last year donated 45,000 notebooks to needy students through his Notebooks For Kids fundraising campaign.
