More than 11 million kids in the US live below the poverty line and
don't have the basic supplies that they need to succeed. Let's Do
Something about it!
Led by teens nationwide, Do Something 101 is a campaign to collect
new school supplies for kids in need. Drop off new supplies at any
Staples store through August 31st, and we'll make sure they're
delivered to kids who need them.
Staples customers can also get involved by adding extra school
supplies to their shopping cart to drop in the collection bin or by
donating $2 in any Staples store, with 100% of the proceeds

If you are a parent or caregiver of children ages 2-8, or if you know

programming for young children and the possibilities that WQED can do even
better. Please join us, or invite your friends, and tell your co-workers,
neighbors, and others about this special opportunity. RSVP by August 28.
Thank you!
