Ogden — Iglesia Living Hope, part of the Vancouver Living Hope Church, hosted a family fair on Aug. 15 and gave out more than 280 backpacks filled with school supplies to families in need.

The school supplies came from a “stuff the bus” drive earlier in the year.

Iglesia hosted educational events for families four nights in the week leading up to the fair, and local restaurants donated free meals, helping to feed about 100 children.
