Give A Kid A Chance is a program designed to start the school year out on the right foot for children in need in Cherokee County. Organizations (churches, businesses, ministries and individuals) work together to provide backpacks and school supplies for each elementary, middle and high school student who has been registered through MUST Ministries in Canton. Organizers have decided to expand the event to two locations this year: 9 a.m.-3 p.m. July 19, 2008, at the Boys & Girls Club in Canton and His Hands Church in Woodstock.

Services offered our guests on this day include vision, hearing, dental and chiropractic screenings, haircuts and blood pressure checks. Each family can shop from a collection of like-new clothing, and enjoy lunch while listening to live music. All events and supplies are provided at no charge for the registered students and immediate family. A voucher must be presented to receive a backpack and school supplies.

The outreach has grown so much for this year - we've come serving 100 children 3 years ago to the potential of serving thousands this year! We need volunteers, supplies, and organizers. See how you can be involved by emailing Candi Hannigan at candicehannigan@yahoo.com.
