The start of the school year is edging closer and the Southwest Advocacy Group (SWAG) is having its annual backpack giveaway for residents in those neighborhoods. We just think this is one of the nicest things we can do for kids and get them excited about returning to school, said Dorothy Benson, chairwoman of SWAG.
The Backpack Giveaway is a collaboration between the nonprofit and the Partnership for Strong Families.
SWAG will give backpacks to families with K-12 students who live in the neighborhoods of Majestic Oaks, Holly Heights, Harbor Cove, Pine Meadows, Hidden Oaks Mobile Home Park, Gordon Manor, Tower Oaks and Linton Oaks.
