The YMCA of Central Kentucky will host the seventh annual Ready, Set,
Go! Lexington Neighborhood Back-to-School Rallies on Saturday Aug. 4.
The event will provide 8,000 primary, elementary, middle and high school
students with free backpacks and school supplies. Each neighborhood
site will distribute supplies for all grade levels and offer kids’
activities, resource booths, entertainment, food, speakers and
giveaways.
Registration for the free supplies will run from 9 to 11 a.m. at each
site, and backpacks will be distributed at noon. Students must be with a
parent or guardian to receive supplies. Kentucky Utilities contributed
the backpacks, and the YMCA and multiple community partners donated the
contents.
