With school starting up next month, Tobias & Comer Law is teaming up with FOX10 News and other partners to make sure students have all the supplies they need by participating in “Operation Backpack”. Now through the end of July, we are asking businesses and/or individuals to donate school supplies for local students in need.
“To be able to give back is great,” said attorney Bryan Comer. “I want to encourage everyone in the community if you can, to come by and bring some supplies, because even just a little bit of a donation can make a big difference for our local kids in need.”
You can drop off donations at Tobias & Comer Law, LLC at 1203 Dauphin St. in Mobile; or at the FOX10 Studios, 1501 Satchel Paige Drive.
Attorney Desi Tobias echoed Mr. Comer’s comments, adding, “We take very seriously the importance of education and our role in helping in the community. This donation drive is an example of how we can come together and equip area students for success.”
