Backpack Giveaways Planned for “Back to School 2022”

While kids definitely think it is way too soon to be thinking about going back to school, parents might be starting to think about how to get all those school supplies.

Parents who need a hand gathering supplies should mark their calendars. Back to School 2022 is held throughout the county to help kids from low-income families get what they need to start the school year off right.

The Port Huron event will be held from 9:30 a.m. to noon on August 10th at Blue Water Community Action on Lapeer Road in Port Huron. The Capac event is also on August 10th at Capac Elementary School from 10:00-11:30 a.m.

The Yale event will be coordinated with back-to-school open houses and the East China event is planned for August 18th from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. at the East China District Stadium.

Elementary and Middle School students will get a backpack filled with school supplies. Preschoolers will get a backpack with a reading book, coloring book, and crayons.

The drive-through event will be first-come, first-serve. Proof of St. Clair County residency is required and children must be present.
