DoSomething.org and Staples are teaming up with actress and screenwriter, Nikki Reed, for the 3rd Annual National Staples/Do Something 101 School Supply Drive (www.dosomething101.org).

Nikki Reed know that school kids need supplies more than ever and she’s teaming up with DoSomething.org to make sure they get what they need.

The 22-year-old actress is encouraging teens to make a difference this summer by collecting school supplies and dropping them off at their local Staples store from July 4 through September 18.

Each store will be matched to a local educational not-for-profit organization serving local youth, and DoSomething and Staples will ensure that all the donations get to these partners just in time for the new school year.

Whether holding a school supply drive at summer camp, during a summer sports league, or at a neighborhood block party, DoSomething and Staples offer tips, resources, and flyers for how to get started and make the most of every teen’s summer.
