By Shelia M. Poole
July 29, 2010Caught in the back-to-school supply crunch?
The Salvation Army Lawrenceville Corps Community Center will provide free school supplies to 500 children from low-income households in Gwinnett County.
The Back-to-School Bash will be held from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Aug. 4 at the Salvation Army, 3455 Sugarloaf Parkway in Lawrenceville.
The project is an extension of the organization's Crisis Intervention and Recovery Program. Many of the pre-registered families have been recently aided with emergency food, clothing or financial assistance through the Salvation Army's Gwinnett County Financial Emergency Services Center.
In addition to the free school supplies, there will be an indoor/outdoor festival.
