The Cobb County Police Department Community Affairs Unit is supporting students when they head back to school.
Their Book Bag-Palooza is an effort to gather book bags and school supplies.
In August, donations will be given to Cobb students in need at the beginning of the 2019-20 school year.
Donations can include new book bags, paper, folders, pencils, crayons, glue sticks and markers - any items that a student, from elementary to high school, would need to start the school year prepared and ready to learn.
At any of the Cobb Police precincts, donations can be dropped off from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Mondays to Fridays (excluding holidays) at:
- Precinct 1: 2380 Cobb Parkway NW, Kennesaw
- Precinct 2: 4700 Austell Road, Austell
- Precinct 3: 1901 Cumberland Parkway, Atlanta
- Precinct 4: 4400 Lower Roswell Road, Marietta
- Precinct 5: 4640 Dallas Highway, Powder Springs
- Headquarters: 140 N. Marietta Parkway, Marietta
If a business or club collects a large amount of school items, one of the Community Affairs’ officers can arrange pick up.
