Rochester, New York — Saturday over 2,000 backpacks were distributed as this year’s annual ‘Back 2 School Giveaway’.
Roc Royal Foundation helped local families prepare for school doors to re-open.
Roc Royal Foundation’s school giveaways have been responsible for extra smiles ahead of every new school year. The event invites children of all ages to stock up on school supplies, backpacks and uniforms.
The event enabled children to be able to enjoy free haircuts, food, entertainment and more.
The organization’s mission is to strengthen Rochester neighborhoods one block at a time.
With over 2,000 backpacks given out Saturday, Roc Royal Foundation left its mark on this generation of students once again.
Autism Council of Rochester also made a difference this school season by hosting its own giveaway event near Chili Avenue on Saturday as they distributed 100 backpacks for children in K through 12.
