La Cosecha, Joy in the Cause team up to host back-to-school bash

TULSA, Okla. (KTUL) — Nonprofits La Cosecha and Joy In the Cause will distribute over 1,000 backpacks, a variety of school supplies and groceries to local families on Thursday.

Tulsa Police Officers are volunteering for the event as well as Laureate and Waterstone Mortgage volunteers.

Every Thursday, La Cosecha holds a drive-thru distribution that serves about 2,000 families per week.

La Cosecha's mission is to empower the community by providing essential needs. With the school year approaching, equipping children for the year can relieve some of the pressure from families.
