Even though we are enjoying summer, the Cobb Police Department Community Affairs Unit is already hard at work to support our students when they head back to school. Book Bag-Palooza is an effort to gather as many book bags and school supplies as possible. Donations will be distributed to county students in need at the beginning of the 2019-2020 school year, which is only one month away.
Donations can include new book bags, paper, folders, pencils, crayons, glue sticks and markers. Any items that a student, from elementary to high school, would need to start the school year out prepared and ready to learn. Donations can be dropped off from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday-Friday (excluding holidays) at any of the Cobb precincts:
- Precinct 1: 2380 Cobb Parkway NW, Kennesaw
- Precinct 2: 4700 Austell Road, Austell
- Precinct 3: 1901 Cumberland Parkway, Atlanta
- Precinct 4: 4400 Lower Roswell Road, Marietta
- Precinct 5: 4640 Dallas Highway, Powder Springs
- Headquarters: 140 North Marietta Parkway, Marietta
If a business or club collects a large amount of school items, one of the Community Affairs’ officers will be happy to arrange pick up. For more information, call Sgt. Jeff Tatroe at 770-499-3981.
