With only a few weeks left until school starts, parents are thankful to have back to school drives like the one at New Light Church inDeacon Devin Turner, of New Light Church, said hundreds of families stopped by to pick up school supplies for their kids. "It’s amazing. The parents, some of them are in tears and just appreciative. You know it a small gesture to help but they’re appreciative to take some of the load off them because we are in a time of inflation," he said.
Turner said they’re helping families and serving the community by giving away food, clear backpacks with supplies, and providing back to school checkups and vaccinations. "It actually helps a lot for us because the economy right now is a little, you know. But anyway, we appreciate what you guys do," Jose Cabrera said."Some people don’t have the funds right now to get the school supplies for their kids," she said."The drive that we have to do this every year is to be able to help the community. The parents that are single parents, parents that are struggling, that’s out drive," Turner said.
