The following press release by Georgetown ISD
GEORGETOWN, TEXAS –Families in Georgetown who need assistance with school supplies can get free backpacks and supplies on Saturday, August 2 from 10:30 am -12:30 pm at The Carver Center for Families, 1200 W. 17th Street, Georgetown.
This free event is being hosted by the Georgetown Cultural Citizens Memorial Association (GCCMA) in partnership with Georgetown ISD, Georgetown Police Department (GPD), Georgetown Fire Department (GFD), STARRY, the Carver Center for Families, the Georgetown Health Foundation, Macedonia Church, Walmart, and H-E-B.
“Last year, we distributed supplies to more than 1,200 students,” said GCCMA President Regina Durden. “This year, we’re hoping to support more students through the collaborative efforts of our partner organizations and individual donors.”
Families should enter the campus from Scenic Drive to access the backpack and supply distribution. Parents can let volunteers know the age and gender of the children in their household and the quantity needed, and volunteers will hand out backpacks to families in this drive-through-style event.
The event runs from 10:30 am – 12:30 pm, and supplies will be distributed until they run out.
Any family in GISD who is unable to attend the event and needs assistance with supplies is encouraged to let their child’s counselor know so that supplies can be made available to those students at the start of school.
HOW TO DONATE
Donations are being accepted at the Carver Center for Families.. If you’re interested in helping, please drop off new backpacks and school supplies between 9 am and 4 pm daily through July 30. To view lists of needed items, visit: www.georgetownisd.org/parents/back-to-school/school-supply-lists.
