August 1 - 26, helping children in need receive the items needed for going
back to school this fall. These items will be contributed to various
organizations in each market, directly affecting those around you.
– Of course we will be rewarding your office's participation with some GREAT
prizes, so get ready for some competition!

‐ If every XO BSU employee each brought in just three items, we will contribute over
5,500 items to children in need. Get started today to do your part! Bring in your new,
unused school supply donation to your office August 1 – 26; each office has designated
an Office Lead for the supply drive. The Office Lead has volunteered their time to
organize a location to collect the items and answer any questions you have. See the list
of suggested items below or on printable office flyers.
‐ Each week, your office donations can be taken to any area collection spots. Choose as
an office where your donations are needed. Many area businesses collect prior to the
school season, such as: Banks, Starbucks, Staples, Malls, Churches and more. You can
select different locations each week.
