EmpoweringandInspiringQueens.com held its fourth annual back to school grab-and-go giveaway recently at the offices of Crenshaw and Clark Financial in South L.A.

“For the past four years we found a way to encourage, support and provide for our students in our community. Although, this is our fourth back to school drive, this one was the most special,” said Keisha Watson, organization founder. “With the pandemic going on and families in need, our drive couldn’t have come at a better time. For the first time in four years we had a line wrapped around the building. That in itself was a blessing to us and brought us so much joy.”

The nonprofit’s mission is to empower, educate and inspire youth. Donors provided students with backpacks, notebooks and other items.

“We provided 100 boxes to students K-8th grade, filled with school supplies, breakfast items and snacks to start the school year,” Watson said. “We spoke with the students and encouraged them to do their best. But none of this would’ve been possible without the generous donations from our community.”
