Parents to get help with buying school supplies
0723school 2
Ashley Cato gets some help picking up school supplies from volunteers Sheridan, left, and Allyson Porras. Linwood Apartments families were invited to the family event and got the required school supplies if needed.
In stores, the back-to-school banners are up, advertising clothes, shoes, backpacks, markers, notebooks and a long list of other supplies. The costs of these supplies can add up quickly, so local charities and churches are working to provide school supplies to students in need. With school starting in early August, organizers are hoping to collect the supplies they need quickly.
