Families from John Neely Bryan Elementary School and Boude Storey Middle School were among those invited to “shop” for new uniforms, school supplies and groceries.

Belk donated $50,000 in uniforms to outfit 1,200 students.

The students also received free eye exams, dental checks and haircuts, donated by the Essilor Vision Foundation, DECA Dental and Toni & Guy.

Albertsons and Tom Thumb served lunch and sent families home with groceries.
