It’s that time of year again! The end of summer is peeking around the corner, which means it’s time to start thinking about back-to-school season. As families begin planning for the upcoming school year, the standard list of supplies can become a financial strain for many.
That’s why the Lakeland Police Athletic/Activities League (PAL) is stepping up to help ensure local students have the essential tools they need to succeed.
We are thrilled to announce that we are hosting a FREE School Supplies Giveaway Event!

Gear Up for a Great Year
We know that a student’s confidence often starts with having the right materials. Whether it’s a new backpack to carry books, sharp pencils for homework, or a calculator for that tricky math class, we want to help. While we can’t promise a full list of every single item, our goal is to provide fundamental supplies like those seen here: pencils, rulers, backpacks, notebooks, and calculators.
Our mission at Lakeland PAL is about building character, establishing connections, and creating a supportive environment for our youth. This giveaway is another extension of that commitment. We want every child to walk into their classroom feeling prepared and ready to learn from day one.
