Several churches and community groups are working to give Augusta's children the school supplies they'll need to go back to school this fall.
This morning, Broad Street Ministries and Miracle Making Ministries have organized a Back-to-School Supply Drive.
The Greater Apostolic Holy Temple has planned a Back-2-School Bonanza next weekend to help families living in south Augusta.
Organizers of both events say they're looking for community members to donate supplies, and invite families in need to participate.
