School supplies for kids in need

1,684 students enrolled in Manatee County public schools are homeless. Barefoot Tiki Bar in Holmes Beach and the Krewe of Jolly Rogers are collecting supplies for kids of all ages through August 12. All donations will go to Turning Points where they will be distributed to families in need. You can help by dropping off school supplies and gently used kids clothes to Barefoot Tiki Bar (5704 Marina Dr, Holmes Beach) or Turning Points (701 17th Ave W, Bradenton) or contact kreweofjollyrogers@gmail.com to arrange pick up.
