The Lincoln East softball team came together for a good cause.
The softball team filled 48 backpacks with school supplies for elementary and middle school students in the Lincoln area.
They said the task really brought them together as a team, and they enjoy helping out the community.
The police department will be delivering them.
Chief Jeff Bliemeister says, "Our officers will take these into the school and it will be an opportunity to engage with kids, their parents, and the faculty. It will build some relationships in advance, to prevent bad things from happening, that’s really what we’re looking forward to, and appreciate everything that you’ve done. "
This was the first year the softball team did this, but they hope to continue it in the future.
