After months of collecting donations to help students, the Habersham County Sheriff’s Office delivered those donations on the first day of school Friday.
Sheriff Joey Terrell and officers delivered 246 backpacks filled with supplies to the county’s public schools. People donated the items during HCSO’s second annual ‘fill the bus’ Paper & Pencils for Students campaign.
“The Habersham County community showed its support in a tremendous way in giving so much to this year’s school supply drive,” says Terrell.
The Habersham County Sheriff’s mascot joined officers in delivering the backpacks, which the schools will pass on to children who need them.
Terrell says the school system is a “top priority” for his administration and adds that he’s very thankful to live in a community that supports our young people in such a great way.”
