Riverside County Child Support Services invites parents to a day of education, information, and community on Saturday, August 5 from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. at the Riverside branch office, 2081 Iowa Ave.
This event includes free entertainment and light refreshments for the whole family, as well as various presentations and educational sessions about child support services, community resources, and employment opportunities for ready-to-hire candidates. Each attendee will receive a bag containing Riverside County and local parent resource packets, including school supplies.
This year’s lead sponsor of the Backpack Giveaway is Food 4 Less, which donated more than $5,000 for the pre-packaged children’s snacks, food, water, school supplies, notebook paper, pencils, crayons, markers, and more. In addition, Community Action Partnership and Altura Credit Union provided additional backpacks and school supplies.
Backpack giveaways contain backpack materials for ages three to 17. All backpacks and school supplies will be on a first-come, first-serve bases.
This community event celebrates August as Child Support Awareness Month. RivCoDCSS serves more than 83,000 children and families throughout Riverside County. Last year, RivCoDCSS collected and redistributed over $185 million for families in the community.
