KILLEEN, Texas – The Carlson Law Firm helped local students prepare for the new school year by distributing 700 backpacks filled with school supplies during its annual Killeen Backpack Giveaway on Aug. 1.

Hosted through the firm's Carlson Cares initiative, the free drive-thru event welcomed local families as students received backpacks and essential school supplies while they lasted. The annual giveaway reflects The Carlson Law Firm's ongoing commitment to supporting students and easing some of the financial burden many families experience during the back-to-school season.

“We’re always grateful for the opportunity to help students in our community start the school year prepared,” said Craig Carlson, managing partner at The Carlson Law Firm. “Seeing so many local businesses, volunteers and families come together each year reminds us what makes the Killeen community so special.
