Echo Park Students Score Free Backpacks and a Big Back-to-School Boost!
Echo Park families gathered this week to celebrate the new school year with free backpacks, games, and essential support. The annual giveaway, hosted by El Centro del Pueblo, ensured local students start the year fully equipped and motivated to learn.
Partnering with the office of Councilmember Hugo Soto-Martínez, the community event offered classic cars, family raffles, and bags stuffed with books and supplies. Organizers aimed to lift the financial burden on struggling parents, helping them save money for necessities like food and housing.
Beyond school gear, neighborhood groups provided parents with access to valuable after-school programs and local services. With fresh supplies in hand, students are officially ready to step into the classroom with pride.
