Drive-thru style event offers free school supplies for children
Yuma, Ariz. (KYMA, KCEY) - While some parents may be heading to the store to get their children back-to-school supplies for this time of year, others went to the yearly Back To School Rodeo event at the Yuma Civic Center on Saturday. This year, we are giving 1,800 backpacks full of school supplies; and we’re just very happy for the community, Adriana Del Rio, the City of Yuma s digital communications coordinator said.
For the second year in a row, the event was done drive-thru style, with parents driving up to grab free bags of school supplies for their kids.
