In a joint news release today (Friday, June 28, 2019) from Columbia City Hall and the Columbia City Police Department, it was announced that the city will be providing a back to school event for students in the community.
“We realize the needs facing families in our community,” said Pamela Hoots, Mayor, who made the announcement in conjunction with City Police Chief Jason Cross. “We hope that this event will assist with alleviating some of that financial burden.”
The city is sponsoring an event to raise funds to provide backpacks for school supplies. A t-shirt will be sold “Dare to be the Change,” which is a combination of the "Be The Change" and the "DARE" programs in schools.
