As the school year is fast approaching, millions of students will be stocking up on school supplies for the upcoming year. However, 13 million students each year go back to school without the adequate supplies. Twilight star Nikki Reed is trying to change this and to make sure that these students have a chance for a better education.
The actress has recently teamed up with Staples and DoSomething.org to encourage people to make a difference this summer by collecting and donating school supplies. Staples will be collecting supplies from July 4th through September 18th to help students who cannot afford basic supplies. Each Staples store is teamed up with a local non-profit organization that will ensure your supplies will help students in your community.
To find out how you can get involved and run a local school supply drive, visit www.DoSomething101.org!
