On Wednesday, the giveaway will visit both Port Huron and Yale. The Port Huron event will take place at McMorran Arena beginning at 10:30am. Distribution in the Yale area will begin at 9:30am tomorrow at the Yale Elementary School. On Friday, the fourth and final giveaway event will take place at the Capac Elementary School at 10:00am. Gittings says there are only two requirements to receive a back pack. Children need to be present and recipients must be residents of St. Clair County.
