Community Event To Help Prepare Students For Back To School

With the start of the new school year, many organizations come together to assist students with necessary supplies and backpacks. Most of those events are scheduled prior to the start of school. One Hopkinsville organization is waiting until the second week of school so students will have a better idea of their needs.

The Hopkinsville Community Friends will sponsor their 8th annual Back to School Bash on Saturday, August 10.

Community Friends member Rosetta Jackson says the first year, they served about 150 students. Last year almost 800 attended. She says they have several partners this year and are expecting even more students.
