Reaching-Out cancels backpack giveaway due to ‘lack of support’
Reaching-Out Community Services Inc. has canceled its annual Big Backpack Giveaway event, which was scheduled for Aug. 28.
The pantry, at 7708 New Utrecht Ave., said a lack of funds will prohibit it from giving out
free backpacks, notebooks, pads, pens and other school supplies to students in need.
