Back to the Schoolyard School Supply Drive to benefit underprivileged children in our area

The Kelvin L. Hicks Foundation, Inc. & ‘Everybody is Somebody Center’ is raising funds for the annual Back to the Schoolyard School Supply Drive, which will take place on August 18 at the Paris Fairgrounds from 11am to 2pm.

The hopes are to provide underprivileged children with the adequate supplies needed for a healthy school year with a positive and productive start.

Last year they were able to help 120 students with school supplies and hope to this year reach out to 200.  You could help them out, and be a part of something great.

They are looking for donations of backpacks, general school supplies — paper, pencils, pens, rulers, erasers, etc., and basic-need items for the students.  Monetary donations are also welcomed and the supply shopping will be taken care of for you.  Make all checks payable to Everybody is Somebody Center.

For more information on how to be a part or make a donation, please contact: Danielle Twitty at (903) 225-9556 or Kelvin Hicks at (214) 702-1807.
