ONTARIO-A back-to-school tradition returns to Staples Canada stores today with the launch of the annual Staples School Supply Drive in support of United Way Centraide and Kiwanis Foundation of Canada. Now in its 20th year, this fundraising initiative helps students from coast to coast overcome obstacles by ensuring they head back to the classroom with the supplies and support they need to succeed.
Customers shopping in-store from now until September 28 can support the Staples School Supply Drive by adding a donation to their purchases. One hundred per cent of the donations raised are allocated to one of Staples’ charitable partners and directly support students and families in that community.
“Supporting the Staples School Supply Drive means more than just donating school supplies – it’s about empowering the next generation of thinkers, dreamers, and leaders,” said Rachel Huckle, CEO, Staples Canada. “For 20 years, this initiative has thrived thanks to the incredible generosity of our customers and charitable partners. Their unwavering support is helping to build brighter futures for students across this country.”
This year’s charitable partners include Kiwanis Foundation of Canada (Ontario) and United Way Centraide (rest of Canada). Partners are selected based on reputation and ability to reach communities across the provinces located within their geographical region.
