Local group holds supply giveaway after kids return to school
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) – Now that kids are back in school after the holiday break, many organizations are giving supplies away for free.
On Saturday, Purvis Huggins Realty partnered with Greater Young Zion Brotherhood to give students the opportunity to restock.
They say by the time January rolls around, students are likely out of supplies.
“I spoke with someone about it a year ago. It was one of the teachers I know, and she was telling me that by the time the school season starts, they have a lot of materials. But by the time they get to the middle of the year, they’re out,” said Purvis Huggins, owner of Purvis Huggins Realty.
In each bag, students got paper, pencils, notebooks and other items based on their grade.
Students were also able to get a haircut and snack while at the event.
Huggins says they plan to do a supply giveaway twice a year.
