Help make the 2016 Backpack Giveaway a success by stopping by Paul Davis Restoration 1704 Hempstead Road in Lancaster for a donation event benefiting the 5th Annual Back-to-School Backpack Giveaway from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Thursday, August 4, 2016.  Appetizers and refreshments will be served.

Backpacks, school supplies and donations will be accepted to help ensure Lancaster City school children are prepared for the upcoming school year.
