Thinking 'back-to-school'
Is your church, mosque or synagogue collecting back-to-school supplies for needy children in the Greensboro area?
Will you host a community day of sorts offering back-to-school services, such as free haircuts or clothing?
I know of a couple and I'd like to compile a more complete list of events and opportunities in a future column, to share with parents who might otherwise find out after the fact.
Please send details to me.
