Boys & Girls Clubs Back-to-School Supply Drive

With support from Staples Office Supply and Michaels Arts and Crafts stores, the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Suncoast has kicked off the back-to-school season with an in-store call for school donations to prepare kids and families in the Pinellas community for academic success in the 2013-14 school year.

You can help Boys & Girls Clubs put thousands of school supplies in the hands of Boys & Girls Club members by donating supplies at all Michaels stores from now until August 17.

Monetary and school supply donations can be dropped off at Staples from now through September 28.
