Kids are getting ready to head back to the classroom and inflation is driving up the cost of just about everything, including school supplies
Sunday, one metro area organization stepped up to help hundreds of families in need. The nonprofit, Adelante Community Development, held a back-to-school fair at the Mile High Flea Market in Henderson.
Brothers Roberto and Juan Campos are getting ready to head to the 9th and 8th grades. Their mother, Ana, said this event helped alleviate some financial stress. The cost of school supplies is soaring this year. The National Retail Federation says an average family will be spending nearly $200 more compared to 2019.
"You want to make sure that the kids start the school year ready to learn, and in order for them to be ready to learn, they need to be healthy, and they need to have all the tools they need. We may not have everything they need, but we have the basics that they can get started with," said event organizer, Maria Zubia.
