Students start school with supplies from CIS

At the beginning of the school year, CIS of Coweta County received donations of school supplies from Walmart as well as individuals, and the donations have already made a difference for some students.

East Coweta Site Coordinator Denise Buchanan has helped several students with supplies, and she was able to fill a backpack for one student whose parent had just changed jobs and didn't yet have the funds for basic school supplies. Thanks to CIS, the student received a backpack filled with everything needed for a successful start to school.

"Things like that remind you that even here in Coweta County, some people struggle with poverty," Buchanan said.
