For the fifth consecutive year, the Mascotte Police department will hold its Back 2 School Bash and Backpack Giveaway on Saturday, August 8, from 10 am to 1 pm at Mascotte Charter School, 460 Midway Ave, Mascotte, FL
The Backpack Giveaway has helped hundreds of local students prepare for the school year.

As part of the ongoing effort, the Mascotte Police Department will host another “Stuff the Cruiser” school supply drive on Thursday, July 9, and Friday, July 10, from noon to 5 pm at Walgreens, 7777 State Road 50 in Groveland.

As a special thank-you, the first 50 individuals who donate school supplies each day will receive a free empanada.
