The event will return to the George R. Brown Convention Center on Saturday, Aug. 13 from 8 a.m.-2 p.m.
The 12th Annual Mayor’s Back to School Fest presented by Shell provides 25,000 Houston area students with the tools they need to start the school year off right, according to a release.
Backpacks underwritten by Shell USA and school supplies donated by a multitude of corporations in the Houston community will be distributed.
Additionally, health screenings will include dental screenings and sealants, vision screenings, routine immunizations and COVID-19 vaccines. The event also provides families with a wide range of health and social services offered by community agencies.
