Hamilton County is hosting a book bag giveaway via drive-through style for their students on Saturday, July 29. The event will be located at the Courthouse Annex, located at 1153 NW Hwy. 41, in Jasper. The giveaway will begin at 9 a.m and will end when all the book bags are gone.
Participants are asked to enter at the entrance. Be sure to look for signs as line up will begin at the bus ramp. Recipients are to remain in their vehicles, as the book bags will be distributed at the ramp. The Hamilton County Alcohol and Other Drug Prevention Coalition partners are invited to distribute their agencies information as vehicles pass through the line. After participants receive their book bags, vehicles can then exit onto Chan Bridge Drive. To be fair to all students, the students must accompany their parent/guardian to receive a book bag. The event is made possible due to the generous donations of the Hamilton County Alcohol and Other Drug Prevention Coalition partners. For more information on the event, please contact the Coalition office at (386) 792-9388 or email drugfreehamilton@gmail.com.
