MOUNT OLIVE, N.C. — Hundreds of local students are heading into the new school year with new school supplies thanks to the Men of FIC and several community partners.
On Saturday, Aug. 15, members of FIC joined several local organizations at Westbrook Park in Mount Olive for their annual Book Bag Giveaway.
This year’s event provided 500 book bags for area students. Organizers said any book bags that were not picked up during the event will be delivered directly to local schools, ensuring the remaining supplies reach students who need them.
The annual giveaway was a community effort, with several organizations and local agencies lending a hand. Partners included The Bridge Church, Mount Olive Parks and Recreation, the Mount Olive Police Department and the Mount Olive Fire Department.
The event brought families and community organizations together ahead of the start of a new school year while helping ease some of the back-to-school expenses for local families.
Through the annual giveaway, the Men of FIC and their community partners continue their effort to support Mount Olive-area students and make sure they have the supplies they need to start the school year ready to learn.
