Hundreds of back-to-school supplies have been provided to two local family service centers after collections by the Exchange Club of Vicksburg.

The Rev. Tommy Miller of Good Shepherd Community Center and Emma Robertson of Central Mississippi Prevention Services were on hand to receive eight large boxes filled with paper, binders, pens and markers, rulers, scissors, glue and other items, said club president Amy Haygood. Items will be distributed to those in need, she said.

The supplies were collected at BancorpSouth, Britton and Koontz and Trustmark National banks, as well as at Rainbow Hotel and Casino and by club members, Haygood said.
