(Back to school shopping)....It is very popular this time of year.

Unfortunately, there are those who cannot afford such a luxury. The Sheriff's Activity League every year does what they can to help as many as possible. They host a Back to School Shopping Spree. This year's event was held over the wekend. As many kids as possible were taken to JC Penny in El Centro. The Imperial County Sheriff's Office assisted the kids stock up with Back to School essentials. The event was made possible through sponsors, including ICDSA, JC Penny, HPUD, Ormat, Yvonne Naud, ICSO Posse, ICSO Aero Squadron, De Anza Search and Rescue, Sornia Company and Vincent and Amanda Brooks. Organizers say it was an uplifting day that showcased the positive impact of community partnerships on young lives.
