The Nyack Center hosted its annual back-to-school barbecue Thursday to prepare kids for the new school year.
The celebration included hamburgers, hot dogs and new backpacks filled with school supplies.
"One of the things we say at the Nyack Center is that every child matters, and it's clear that with the support that we get, everyone agrees," Nyack Center member Kym Carter says.
The backpacks and food were all free.
