Alabama picked for World Vision distribution center

Evangelist Scott Dawson doesn’t want to see teachers spend their own money to make sure their students don’t go without, so he’s doing something about it.

During the month of August more than 4,000 low-income public school children across central Alabama will be getting school supplies donated through a partnership between local churches and the Christian humanitarian organization World Vision, Dawson told APR on Tuesday.

“It’s not one tax dollar, and it’s all their school resources for the entire year,” Dawson said. “Ultimately this will be a World Vision distribution center.”
