Backpacks and school supplies were just some of the items being given away to hundreds of young students as part of an event organized by the Peanut Butter & Jelly Project.

The line wrapped around the building as kids were able to grab those much-needed items, with classes set to begin later this month in Broward County.

Students were also able to get haircuts or a styling, as well as lessons in personal hygiene.

All this, and a hot meal as well, to help the kids get excited to head back to the classroom.
