Prichard officials announce back-to-school giveaway and voter-registration events
Summary
Council members announced a free back-to-school giveaway on Aug. 15 and a voter-registration drive on Aug. 4 at Samuel Chapel AME Church, with partners and drop-off locations noted.
Council members used the meeting to announce community events aimed at children and voters.
One council member said they are organizing a free back-to-school giveaway on August 15 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., offering food, giveaways and book bags for students. “If you need a book bag…we are inviting all the children out,” the council member said. The announcement named a community volunteer (Carlton Wallace) as a partner.
Another announcement invited residents to a voter-registration drive on August 4 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Samuel Chapel AME Church, where Reverend Vernon Cloud is pastor. A separate bag-giveaway for school-age children was scheduled for August 1 at a local business on Wilson Avenue.
These community events were presented as announcements; no council action or funding vote related to the events took place during the meeting.
