Backpack Give Away

9/9/2016 (Permalink)

A couple of organizations were hosting a backpack give away in the city of Youngstown for students. One backpack give away was held at Oakhill Renaissance Place and was sponsored by Mahoning County Child Support Enforcement Agency. A member of county’s Department of Job and Family Services emphasized on how it was important to have a good start on the school year. Many of the students who attended expressed how they were excited for the school year to start. Another give away took place on Saturday at the Covelli Centre in downtown Youngstown where kids from elementary to high school students received school supplies such as binders, erasers, folders, along with other education necessities for their academic school year. People of all ages volunteered in preparing for the giveaways hoping to make a positive academic difference in their community.
