“We will provide haircuts, backpacks, shoes, and free food,” said Bridgette Cooper, EEA:OY president. “We are requesting that parents sign their children up to ensure we can meet their need. Sign-up requires providing their name, age, and shoe size.”

Also among the activities planned for the youth attending the Aug. 15 event are music, prizes, free food and drink, bounce houses and wellness checks.
