Mayor Eddie Morán, in partnership with State Representative Manny Guzman, is proud to host the fifth annual Back-to-School Giveaway, a community-centered event designed to help Reading families prepare for the new school year. The event will take place on Wednesday, Aug. 19, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., in the courtyard on the 600 block of Penn Street.
This year’s event will feature free school supplies for students, distributed on a first-come, first-served basis while supplies last. Families will also enjoy free food, snacks, fresh fruit, and refreshments along with complimentary haircuts and hairstyling services provided by local barbers and stylists. Free vision screenings will also be available, and community organizations will be on hand to share valuable local and state resources with families.
Free parking will be available from 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at the 6th & Cherry Street parking lot, courtesy of the Reading Parking Authority.
“Every child deserves to start the school year with confidence and the tools they need to succeed,” said Mayor Eddie Morán. “For the fifth year, we’re bringing our community together to support Reading families by providing essential supplies, free services, and resources that can make a real difference. I’m grateful to Representative Guzman and all of our partners who continue to make this event possible and invest in the future of our children.”
State Rep. Manny Guzman said: “I’m proud to see this event continue to grow and make a greater impact in our community. By partnering with Mayor Eddie Morán, we are working together to ensure underserved families have the resources they need to help their children start the school year prepared for success. This year’s Back-to-School Giveaway is bigger and better than ever, and I look forward to bringing families together and providing immediate support to students across our community.”
