BUFFALO, NY (WKBW) — A school supply giveaway took place Saturday at St. Stanislaus Social Hall on Peckham Street in Buffalo.
Children received free backpacks filled with a variety of supplies that they will need throughout the upcoming school year.
Guest speakers were also on hand talking about a variety of subjects, including bridging the resource gap.
"When you don't have those supplies and you don't have those essentials that you need, your mental health builds off of that," said Trueletta Williams from the Save Our Youth Foundation.
