Mothers In Action distributed more than 1,500 backpacks at their 25th Annual Back to School Health Fair.
In memory of Mitchell’s late Mother, the founder of M.I.A., Brenda Marsh-Mitchell, they distribute their first 100 backpacks each year for the last 6 years to First AME Church for their foster care youth in honor of her passing and life of service.. “My Mother was the founder of Mother’s In Action, and she understood that children fail because they can’t hear, they can’t see, and don’t have the resources to have a successful school year. So she started this thing 22 years ago, said President Mitchell.”
Volunteers served a variety of healthy snacks, sandwiches and drinks to a joyful crowd of promising young teenagers and preteens.
Mothers In Action is unyielding in making sure the youth of the community are prepared for school.
