Every year, the South Los Angeles community group Mothers In Action runs a program to give away a thousand backpacks filled with school supplies for kids in underserved neighborhoods.
Courtney Bailey, an aspiring author, is the mother of five children. In years past, back-to-school season has been a stressful time for her.
"There's so much stuff here, I'm just amazed. Every year, she always seems to bring and go above and beyond for the community," said Bailey. Volunteers, some of whom have been helped by Mothers In Action in the past, are busy getting everything ready for the giveaway, which takes place on August 12 in Exposition Park. They say no parent should feel ashamed about needing a little help getting their kids ready for another school year.
