Thursday's school-supply event starts with a reserved half hour
The free 15th Night gathering serves Lane County students ages 11-21 who are homeless, at risk of homelessness or unaccompanied.
A free back-to-school event for Lane County youth runs Thursday from 5 to 7 p.m. at 326 Centennial Boulevard in Springfield. The 211info listing says the 15th Night gathering includes school supplies, shoes and food for students ages 11 through 21 who are homeless, at risk of becoming homeless or unaccompanied.
The first half hour, from 5 to 5:30 p.m., is reserved for people who RSVP. After that, the listing says participants may walk in. The service is free.
