Back to school season is in full effect in West Alabama. It may be hard to keep up with all the events going on in the area. That's where we come in to help!

It's almost time for West Alabama students to head back to the classrooms. With many households still being impacted by COVID-19, it may be hard for them to purchase school supplies. It's so touching to see so many community organizations teaming up to offer free school supplies to community members.

There are plenty of back-to-school events happening around West Alabama. Some events are offering free food, and others are even giving away masks and hand sanitizers.

If you're looking for community events that have free school supplies so your kids can be ready for the upcoming school year, look no further. We were able to compile a list of free back-to-school events.
