NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — The Northern Berkshire Community Coalition (nbCC) is hosting its 13th annual back-to-school event for school-aged kids for local Northern Berkshire students entering pre-K through 12th grade.

This includes homeschooled students. Students will receive a free backpack to fill with school supplies. 

The event for families living in Florida and Savoy will be located at Gabriel Abbott Memorial School, 56 North County Road, Florida on Tuesday, Aug. 11 from 5:00p.m. to 6:00pm. Families picking up from Florida and Savoy will receive pre-packed backpacks and will be contacted to choose the color of their child's backpack.

The event for families living in Williamstown, North Adams, Clarksburg, Adams, and Cheshire will be located at the St. Elizabeth's of Hungary Parish Center on St. Anthony Drive, North Adams on Thursday, August 13 from 1:00pm to 3:00pm. Families picking up at this location should bring their children to choose their backpacks and school supplies at the event.
