The start of the school year is just around the corner, and one big task before the first day is loading up on school supplies. The Big Backpack Giveaway, an event dedicated to providing students with essential supplies needed in the classroom, will take place this Saturday, July 27th at the Williamson County Administrative Complex from 9:00a to 12:00p. Backpacks and school supplies are FREE.
Historically held at Liberty Elementary School, this year’s event introduces a new drive-through format to ensure the safety and convenience of all participants. “This event is all about helping our community’s students start the school year with the tools they need to succeed academically,” said Cathy Montgomery, County Director at the Williamson County Health Department. “We want to ensure that every child has the necessary supplies to feel confident and prepared.”
The event is made possible each year by dedicated volunteers, churches, local businesses, individuals, and the collective efforts of the Williamson community.
