Group in need of donations for Back To School Giveaway

Jo Roy, one of the organizers of the 12th annual Back To School Giveaway, is hoping for a more successful giveaway on Saturday, Aug. 14, from 8 a.m. until 12 noon, at the First United Methodist Church in Lamesa.

“We helped 430 students last year and had to turn some away. We ran out of everything. We hope we don’t have to do that again,” she said.

Clothing, school supplies and personal hygiene items are given free to children from kindergarten through seniors in high school.

“We are in need of everything. We will accept gently used clean clothing for all sizes. But we will gladly accept monetary donations as well. We don’t have much in the account for this,” Roy said.
