First Day Festival School Supply Drive

June 24, 2019

The First Day Festival School Supply Drive is in full effect! In celebration of the first day of school, the Mayor’s Office for Children, Youth & Families is asking you to participate in the annual First Day Festival School Supply Drive! Last year, we were able to give away over 4,000 bags full of new school supplies and we couldn’t have done it without the support of the community.

This year, we hope to pack even more bags to give away and prepare kids for the new school year. If you would like to donate to this wonderful cause, please look for our blue bins at one of the locations on our flyer.

If you have any questions or would like to host a drive within your organization, contact Ebony Venson at [email protected].

The 2019 First Day Festival will be held on Sunday, August 18th 1:00-4:00pm at Liberty Square and Gadsdenboro Park. Check out our website for more details about the festival: https://firstdayfestival.wixsite.com/2019. We hope to see you there!
