Tamarac families can get a head start on back-to-school preparations as Commissioner Krystal Patterson partners with the Children’s Services Council of Broward County to provide free backpacks to local students.
The Bright Futures Back-to-School Backpack Drive will take place on Saturday, June 27, beginning at 9 a.m. at Tephford Park, located at 10003 Southgate Blvd.
According to Patterson, the initiative aims to support local youth while encouraging community engagement and neighborly kindness throughout the district.
Backpacks will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis while supplies last. Families must provide proof of District 3 residency to receive a backpack. The giveaway is limited to elementary and middle school students.
Residents are encouraged to arrive early, as supplies are expected to be limited.
