4,000 Oak Cliff students are heading back to class with brand new backpacks and all the supplies they need—without their families spending a dime. The annual back-to-school festival didn’t just hand out essentials; it also surprised over 100 families with $100 gift cards for new shoes. Parents shared how much this helps, especially with rising costs and last-minute school expenses. The event felt more like a block party, with food trucks, a kids’ zone, and even a job fair. For anyone who missed out, backpacks are still being distributed in the 75216 area. How do you think these community efforts shape the start of the school year? #Safety #OakCliff #BackToSchool
