Children receive backpacks during South Hills Interfaith Movement’s annual Back-to-School event on Aug. 14.
South Hills Interfaith Movement’s Back-to-School event distributed school supplies and backpacks to a record-breaking number of students this year. After three days of drive-thru distributions, more than 1,400 students received backpacks and school supplies.
Due to the on-going impact of covid-19 on families, the demand for supplies was so great that an order for 30 more backpacks was placed to make sure every student who needed a backpack received one. The school supplies were donated by CentiMark as well as community collections.
