DoSomething.org and Staples are teaming up with teen actress and recording artist Bella Thorne for the fifth annual Staples for Students national school supply drive, to help kids in need.

With over 20% of children in the US living in poverty, that means that 16 million students this fall will be in need of basic school supplies.

“I’m excited to help motivate fellow teens to make a difference in their communities,” said Bella Thorne. “There are so many kids in America who return to school without basic school supplies, and I’m thrilled to team up with Staples and DoSomething.org to encourage teens to lend a hand.”
