WASHINGTON -- When the holidays are over, many people forget about the Salvation Army, but its volunteers keep working throughout the year. On Tuesday, they helped some local kids get ready for the upcoming school year.
Armed with $80 gift cards, more than a dozen D.C. police officers lent a hand to 80 needy children as they shopped for paper, Crayons, backpacks and other school supplies at the Target on 14th Street in Northwest D.C.

• NAACP Back to School Rally – 2:00 PM at Salisbury Middle School – Mayor Ireton, Salisbury Police Department’s Chief Barbara Duncan and Colonel Ivan Barkley to hand out school supplies to students for the upcoming school year.
So the salvation Army (a charity and business) also gives school supplies, will the NAACP be there? What politicians will be there?
