The Morongo Unified School District will again host its annual backpack giveaway for homeless and low-income students, but with a twist this year. Reporter Andrew Dieleman explains…
For the first time, the Morongo Unified School District will conduct its annual backpack giveaway drive-through style. Backpacks filled with school supplies will be provided free of charge to Morongo Basin’s homeless and low-income students. Students must be present to receive a backpack and parents must provide the student’s school site and grade level. The event will be held Friday, August 14, from 9:30 a.m. to noon at the Joshua Tree Sportsman’s Club, 6225 Sunburst Avenue. For more information, contact Community Outreach Coordinator Wayne Hamilton at 760-401-0375.
