There are several back-to-school fairs in the Las Vegas area ahead of the first day of school on Aug. 11—many offering free supplies, CCSD resources, and health screenings or immunizations. The fairs offer a one-stop opportunity for parents and students to receive what they need.

If you’re in the giving mood or don’t have children who would need the free supplies, you can donate too! The Las Vegas Indian Center is accepting school supply donations through July 31 for its back-to-school fair being held Aug. 31.
