Lynn Faubert, Manager of the Sarnia Staples store and all her staff each year ask their customers to assist them in providing school supplies for those families that find themselves in challenging finanacial stituations as their children return to school in the fall. This year Staples was able to make up 1288 kits for distribution to 11 local schools and agencies such as the Inn of the Good Shephard and the Organization for Literacy-Sarnia/Lambton.
Staples gets help from Kiwanis clubs in Sarnia and Forest to contact schools and agencies to determine their needs and distribute the Back to School Supply kits assembled by Staples to the schools and agencies. Kiwanians helping this year were Norm Tomback (Kiwanis Club of Forest), Dave Marshall and Mac MacDonald (Sarnia-Lambton Golden K), Wayne Scarrow (Kiwanis Club of Sarnia, Inc) as well as Kiwanis organizer Sheila Donald and her son Mike Idle.
Sheila Donald, President of the Kiwanis Club of Sarnia thanks Lynn Faubert and her staff at Staples for continuing to do such a wonderful job during this event. 'Without their commitment to this project, it simply would not happen.". Donald also said "All recipients were thrilled to be on the receiving end of this project." so they can give assistance to their students and clients with their back to school needs.
