PHOTOS: Back 2 School Basics
August 8, 2016
Volunteer families met outside of Carter’s at the Tanger Outlet mall as they waited to be paired with a local family in need to help find children affordable school supplies for the first day of school Friday morning, August 5, 2016. The event, sponsored by the Christian Center of Park City, gave each student a $100 gift card, provided for my more than $50,000 in donations, to spend on school-appropriate clothing, shoes and more.
