Fresh Start: A Wicomico County Community Back-to-School Event

Fresh Start: A Wicomico County Community Back-to-School Event provides students in need with resources to help them achieve success. More than a dozen organizations have collaborated on this initiative, in an effort to reach thousands of children and invest in the future of the area’s youth. Because of this cooperative approach, students are able to receive backpacks, supplies and haircuts, while families can learn about community resources and enjoy fun activities.

The inaugural event is scheduled for Sunday, Aug. 26, 2018, from noon-5 p.m. at the Wicomico Youth & Civic Center.

If you would like to make a donation to this event, contact Recreation Superintendent James Simmons at 410-548-4900 x114 or jsimmons@wicomicocounty.org.
