All school supplies will be donated locally to Detroit students in need in your area.

So Do Something about it! This summer, join Do Something 101 to help students start the year off right. Collect new binders, pens, notebooks. Anything that teens need. Drop off school supplies at Do Something 101 collection sites at Staples stores nationwide.
