For most students that means going shopping for new clothes and school supplies. However, not all students can afford new school supplies. That a simple notebook, pencil, ruler, glue stick, pen, etc., are just too expensive for a family to give their child.
That is why most families rely on the help of donations to give their child the school supplies they need to make it through school.
For eight years, Staples Canada has been working with various charities across Canada to provide kids with the necessary school supplies.
Staples Canada is for Students
The Staples for Students Annual School Supply Drive is back! Over the years, the supply drive has generated over $6.3-million dollars for schools, non-profit organizations and community groups. The campaign is designed to help local students in need go back to school with the essential school supplies. Every year, the School Supply Drive helps thousands of Canadian students.

A survey of Canadian teachers we recently conducted with Vision Critical found that one third of students will start their school year without the basic supplies and poverty is the number one reason they don't have what they need. Together, we can help!
The Staples for Students runs from July 27th to September 9th collecting donations. During this time, people can make their donations at the cash register.
