10 Back To School Supply Giveaways To Attend in Dade & Broward

With the school year quickly approaching, parents are scrambling to make sure their little ones have all they need to be prepared. To lend a helping hand, many people in the community have organized school supplies drives and free giveaway events to help many students and parents who need it. With the pandemic still wreaking havoc on all our finances, these freebies can go a long way.

Hy-Lo News especially recognized this need and so this year we directly supported the B. Lee Entertainment 7th Annual Back to School Supply Drive and the Papa Keith for People Matter (PK4PM) 4th Annual Back 2 School Fest co-hosted by Radio Vet, Papa Keith, NFL star, Antonio Brown and Hip-Hop businessman, Rick Ross.

Check out our curated list below of Back to School events in our communities.
