Hundreds turned out for an event in St. Paul, where police distributed backpacks and supplies to residents
Dalvin Jones brought his three kids, all eager students, to Conway Recreation Center in St. Paul on Tuesday to gear up for their return to class. They left carrying backpacks stuffed with notebooks, pencils, folders and other school supplies.
"Anything they want to do with school, we're going to do it," said Jones, a new St. Paul resident, while waiting in line for the Barbers and Backpacks event. "We appreciate [this]. I'm sure everybody else does too."
"It's definitely a big help. It's just expensive right now in the world," said Jovan Gills who stood in line with Jones.
