Those on the brink of their college journey can find assistance at the College Dorm Giveaway, set to happen at Como Community Center on Friday, Aug. 1, between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m., and with a touch of fun, a carnival-style event is also being hosted at Eugene McCray Community Center on Saturday, Aug. 9, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., according to the City of Fort Worth's announcement.
With a focus on the upcoming school season, the city is pulling out all the stops to ensure students from every grade can get a head start on the academic year; in addition to essential supplies such as backpacks, there will be opportunities for free haircuts for a fresh look on the first day, and rounds of games to infuse the process with amusement, as detailed in the same announcement.
