TEMPLE, Texas — Summer break is almost over for Temple Independent School District. Students are heading back to school on Tuesday.
A New Day Fellowship Church and A New Day Learning Academy wanted to make sure students had all the tools they needed to be successful this year. They held a backpack and supply giveaway.
Students were able to listen to guest speakers, get free physicals, free haircuts, and there were also cash giveaways for families. Event organizers say they really wanted to do something to help the east side of the community.
“A lot of times we are forgotten about,” said event organizer Kayla Beamon. “Not only are we making sure we are giving out things for the kids, but the adults as well. We want to make sure we are giving all the things, all the supplies to make sure we have a successful school year.”
Many people were in attendance. This is the churches second annual back pack and school supply giveaway.
