Assistance Available For Children Heading Back To School

POSTED: 1:12 pm EDT August 7, 2008
UPDATED: 4:24 pm EDT August 7, 2008

Thousands of children from across the Alleghenies come from low-income families and are in need of assistance when heading back to school. Officials with one Centre County bank are working with a youth service group to get children the help that is needed.

Each county across the Alleghenies has services to help children in need when back-to-school time rolls around. In Centre County, the Youth Service Bureau began working with Citizens' Bank in a project called "Gear For Grades" to collect school supplies for needy kids.

The bank bought backpacks to fill and plans to deliver them to kids next week.

The bureau will help more than 300 children in the county this year.
