Staples donates school supplies to youth in need

Staples, which is based in Framingham, recently donated $220,000 worth of school supplies to Cradles to Crayons, a non-profit organization that assists children who don't have access to basic tangible items necessary for learning. What struck me as most interesting about this scenario was that executives and businesspeople from Staples, The Boys and Girls Club, and Cradles to Crayons had an active role in putting together the backpacks that would be distributed to the children. To me, this shows an interest and compassion from people higher up on the socioeconomic ladder, as well as a business' social responsibility to give back.
