BACK TO SCHOOL | As students in central Indiana prepare to return to school in the next few weeks, local organizations will be hosting backpack giveaways on Saturday to help students and their families be prepared.
INDIANAPOLIS — We know families across central Indiana are getting their kids ready for the new school year. WRTV is looking at how large and small organizations are making sure children are prepared, even as prices rise.
Baker said they did run into some issues with pulling off their annual backpack giveaway because of inflation. Cooley and her husband, Robert Cooley, have been supplying the community with backpacks for two years. This Saturday, they will be handing out at least 250 backpacks. "It just really lays the groundwork and helps the child feel equal and on a level playing field as all the other children. And it helps them be prepared, and I'm sure that even helps the teachers when their students come prepared," Deborah said.You can join Deborah and Robert Cooley at 5420 East 38th Street in the Indianapolis Library parking lot . The giveaway will be from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m.
