Chattooga County Community Resource Center Director Maisha Ludy says the community has provided every item needed for this year’s Back to School Bash, several days before the event.

Ludy announced Monday that all requested school supplies and other needed items have been collected. She said that in six years of coordinating the event, the organization has never completed its supply collection this far in advance.

The annual Back to School Bash will be held Thursday from 4 to 6 p.m. at Chattooga High School.

The event will include free backpacks, school supplies, haircuts, community resources and other activities for local students and families.

Organizers remind parents and guardians that children must be present to receive a backpack and school supplies.

Ludy thanked residents, businesses and organizations across the county for their generosity and support, saying the early response reflects the strength of the Chattooga County community.
