With the first day of school fast approaching, Plant City youths need to be prepared.
They got the chance to do just that on Saturday, August 6, as the Dr. Martin Luther King Recreation Center, 1601 E. Dr. Martin Luther King Blvd., hosted a backpack giveaway. The event, held with help from the Order of the Eastern Star, Plant City Masonic Lodge No. 206, KOE Barber Academy and City Pointe Church, gave kids brand new backpacks, fresh haircuts and school uniform clothing for free from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
