Tuscaloosa municipal court donates 923 school-supply items to city schools
Summary
City staff reported a municipal-court drive collected 923 school-supply items in lieu of ticket payments; New Heights Community Resource Center will distribute supplies to families and teachers across Tuscaloosa City Schools.
Jessica Stewart told the city council that this year’s municipal-court school-supplies program collected 923 items donated by citizens in lieu of paying parking and other municipal fines. “Today, we have 923 items,” Stewart said, adding staff pride in serving underserved communities.
