All school supplies will be donated to local schools for their students. All families encouraged to attend this event to access supplies and clothes directly.

All are encouraged to attend & take what they need, you don't have to donate only to be a part of this community event!

Everything left at 3pm will be donated to a variety of local charities, churches and nonprofit organizations in need! This event gives individuals an opportunity to take what they need and gives our individuals who stop in a chance to network and empower each other by the act of kindness and giving!
