Ready, Set, Learn! PHOTOGRAPHY BY CAITLYN YAEDE
The Durham Children’s Initiative hosted its annual Ready, Set, Learn Back-to-School Supply Distribution event on Aug. 17. The rain couldn’t dampen the spirits of DCI staff and volunteers as they guided the drive-thru pickup event through the nonprofit’s parking lot at 2101 Angier Ave. Every one of the 300 students who attended received a variety of books based on their grade level as well as a backpack filled with school supplies. 10
