School supplies are needed in Jackson County, and this event is supporting that very cause.

Rock The Block will be Saturday, August 6 from 3-10 p.m. at Caldwell School in Scottsboro. It's a Christian rock concert founded in 2009 to provide for the needs of hurting children and families as they prepare for the upcoming school year. They have provided thousands of dollars in materials that have been distributed to hundreds of students.

Bring school supplies, a lawn chair or blanket, and money for food and merchandise.

If you would like to know more about how to help for the 2011 event, contact them at 256-259-8556.
