The cost of sending kids back to school is expensive. But FOCUS, Trumbull Community Action Program, the Greater
Warren-Youngstown Urban League, Second Baptist Church, and Sapphire Aesthetics and Wellness are looking to help reduce your costs.

A citywide backpack and school supply giveaway will take place in Warren from noon through 2 p.m. Saturday, August 13 at the FOCUS Building, 2051 Niles Rd. SE.

To receive a backpack and school supplies, parents or guardians must bring the student to the giveaway, one backpack per student, while supplies last. 

The event is made possible in large part by donations from Trumbull Community Action Program and other donors.

There will also be free food and snacks for those who attend.
