The Radcliff Police Department is looking to help area families as they get ready to send their kids back to school.
“This is gonna be our second annual backpack drive or backpack giveaway that we’re doing here in Radcliff,” said RPD Officer Jamaal Wilson. “We’re just trying to find ways to give back to the community.”
The backpack giveaway is open to all Hardin County students from elementary school through high school.
“You can meet us at the Radcliff Police Department this Saturday,” Wilson said. “We’re going to get started about 8 a.m. and we’re going to run until 12 p.m. or until supplies run out. We have over 100 backpacks to give out this year, so I’m hoping that we can give out every single one of them to go towards a family or a child that needs it, and that we can get them started off on the school year on the right foot.”
The donated backpacks came from several area businesses and organizations as well as from the RPD.
“All the backpacks and the supplies were all donated from either officers at the department or there were also some donations throughout the community, and also my church, which is Hope Temple Church of God in Christ which is here in Radcliff,” Wilson said. “They also partnered with me this year and gave a significant amount of backpacks and supplies.”
The Radcliff Police Department is located at 220 Freedoms Way.
