The MLK Back to School Festival is an annual event for students of all ages and their families to receive free backpacks, school supplies and other essential items for the new school year. The event starts Saturday, Aug. 13 from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. at the Martin Luther King, Jr. Community Center at 2922 Martin Luther King, Jr. Blvd. Our goal this year is to serve 1000 families. Registration is required to participate. No walk-ups allowed and participants must be in a car to receive items.
