Nikki Reed ("Rosalie Hale" in The Twilight Saga: New Moon and The Twilight Saga: Eclipse) is working with Staples and DoSomething.org, according to a new press release, to help put school supplies in the hands of children in need.

Nikki, star of this summer’s upcoming blockbuster film Twilight: Eclipse, is encouraging teens to make a difference this summer by collecting school supplies and dropping them off at their local Staples store from July 4 through September 18. In addition, Staples customers will be able to get involved by donating $1 at any Staples store, with 100 percent of the proceeds benefiting local students in need. Each Staples store will be matched to a local educational not-for-profit organization serving local youth, and DoSomething.org and Staples will ensure that all the donations get to these partners just in time for the new school year.

“Do Something 101 has done an amazing job in its first two years, and I’m dedicated to making the 2010 campaign the best yet,” said Nikki Reed. “Every donated pencil, notebook and other supplies add up to make a big difference in improving education.”

Last year, Reed's Twilight series co-star Chaske Spencer participated in this event with Ciara, and Ashley Greene has also worked with DoSomething.org, so it's great to see another Twilight castmate use her influence for the greater good.
