Families lined up as early as 5 a.m. to register their children and by 10 a.m., the line stretched halfway around the parking lot, and eager parents stood on the hot asphalt as the sun baked the lot.
The day before, dozens attended the annual Hosea Feed The Hungry Brunch that celebrated new changes and expansions in the program. Hosea Helps 365 will now aim to help an additional 3,500 people every year to include reading programs, youth outreach and expand its homeless housing. The Back to School Jamboree successfully registered more than sixty children for school.
