Posted

Redz Inc, a nonprofit group, held an event on Saturday, Aug. 27 where kids and parents from around Elmont and Franklin Square could come to the corner of Meecham Avenue and A Street in Elmont and pick up supplies for the upcoming year. Kids in the Elmont and Franklin Square School Districts go back on Sept. 6, and the volunteers made sure that they had backpacks, writing utensils and anything else that would help them excel in the upcoming year.

Claudine Cox, the CEO of REDZ Inc. helped organize the event and invited Engine Company 3, from Uniondale, to help entertain the kids while they found the items needed for school.
