Zac joins teen volunteers to stuff backpacks
After winning and presenting at the Teen Choice Awards on Sunday night, Zachary Levi hit up Do Something 101′s Backpack party where he and several other celebrities joined teen volunteers to donate 500 “gift bags” of school supplies to underprivileged students in Los Angeles.
As a highlight to the Third Annual Staples/Do Something 101 School Supply Drive, stars showed off their gift bag-stuffing skills on a red carpet to make the ultimate back-to-school swag bag full of donated pencils, notebooks, paper, pencil pouches, folders and other back-to-school essentials. Zac invited several volunteers to join him in the VIP area and stuff backpacks.
Staples will add an additional 4,500 supply gift bags to the 500 bags created yesterday, a total value of $125,000 worth of supplies, so that thousands of members of the Variety Boys & Girls Club and Boys & Girls Club of Hollywood can head back to school with the supplies they need to succeed.
“We hope the presence of celebrities giving back inspires others to take action in support of their local communities,” said Demos Parneros, president of U.S. Retail at Staples. “Staples stores will continue to collect school supplies through mid-September to benefit youth around the country.”
