Pantry hosts back-to-school giveaway
Reaching-Out Community Services held its “Big Backpack Giveaway” Aug. 27.
The non-profit food pantry, at 7708 New Utrecht Ave., gave bookbags and other school supplies to more than 600 kids who are registered in its program.
The annual event, which was canceled last year due to financial restraints, featured costumed characters and a DJ.
