The screenings are the first part of an entire weekend of events the church has put together to welcome Ohio Valley students back to school and get them in the best position to learn.

Among the food items available will be meats, turkeys, hams, canned goods, vegetables and fruits. Students also can take advantage of free haircuts from Charles Dunn of Hair Dunn Right and other participating stylists.
Children must be present Saturday to select their own clothes.
