With back to school a day away, some stores and community organizations in Philadelphia held events to help families with the cost.
"Sometimes they're not getting everything they deserve because maybe it's not available to them and we want to give them everything we can back so that they can be impactful and efficient in the school day," said Leigh Pesko, the assistant principal.
"It's part of our duty as a small business in the local community to be able to give back. It's a community that has kind of been hit hard between the economic factors that are happening today in the country and the unfortunate rise of gun violence in the community," said Nofry Hananel, the store's owner."It's hard times right now.
"You remember on your first day you had your outfit laid out, everything was ready," said Tremayne Libscomb, the community outreach director of the store.
