WATERVILLE — DoSomething.org and Staples have teamed up with teen actress and recording artist Bella Thorne, for the fifth annual Staples for Students national school supply drive, to help children in need. The drive encourages Waterville children to collect school supplies and drop them off at their nearest Staples store July 1 through Sept. 15.

Supplies and donations will be given to the Waterville Area Boys & Girls Club to ensure they get into the hands of disadvantaged youth in time for school.

The campaign offers easy, innovative ways for teens to get involved in the programs. For more information, visit staplesforstudents.org.
