Get your friends on board
You don't want to do this alone so recruit all your friends to help you out. Make it fun!

Spread the word
You need to market your drive! Make posters and flyers with all the details and hang them in local stores, at sports fields and around town. Don't forget Facebook events and Myspace bulletins!

Get attention
Be creative and decorate collection boxes. You can even put the Do Something 101 logo on t-shirts, banners, whatever!

Make it easy
People are more likely to help if it's simple, so go where the people are. Baseball games, the pool, summer camps - you know your community best.

Make sure they are new
We all know that having "new" supplies for back to school is important to everyone, so make sure not to accept anything used or damaged.

Finishing up
Officially end the drive by letting everyone know how many supplies were collected and give a special thanks to everyone who helped. Tell Do Something about it and you could be featured on the homepage!

Dropping them off
Donate the supplies you've collected to a Staples store in your area in July and August. Drop off bins will be located near the registers.
