Fresh n’ Faded and friends will be hosting their 8th annual Back 2 School Block Party on August 11th in the 200 block of South Main Street in Lima. The event will run from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. There will be free food, a uniform and school supplies giveaway, and shoe giveaways thanks to Kre8tive Branding and Khalil Luster.
There was a whole lot of giving going on in Downtown Lima Sunday afternoon. Fresh n’ Faded held their annual block party and joining them this year was Lima Senior and University of Findlay basketball star Khalil Luster, who gave away dozens of pairs of shoes to kids to go back to school in. Luster said with the help of his supporters, family, and Keith Jackson, this will be the first of many ways he is going to give back to his community.
