Deidra’s Gift: Free School Supplies Distributed To Hundreds
July 23, 2017
Free backpacks and school supplies were distributed Saturday in Century to hundreds of children in need. The distribution at the Nadine McCaw Park (former Roadside Park) was thanks to a family honoring the memory of one of their own in a program called “Dedria’s Gift”.
The bookbags full of supplies were distributed in memory of Dedria Robinson, who was killed in 2005 in an automobile accident at age 11.
In addition to the annual school supply giveaway, “Dedria’s Gift” visited three area nursing homes and assisted living facilities last Christmas with gifts for less fortunate residents.
And last spring, Dedria’s Gift presented two scholarships to deserving Northview High School students.

Our government needs to focus humanitarian spending on our own citizens, as opposed to bringing in countless refugees and illegal aliens.
We are $20,000,000,000,000.00 in the hole and cannot take care of our own.
Great that Ms Dedria’s family could perform such a noble and much needed service.
This is such a special way to share Dedria’s memory!
Wonderful!
