Some Myrtle Beach kids get back-to-school spree

MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. (AP) — Some local students are getting the chance to visit a Myrtle Beach store, just in time for back-to-school shopping.

The Salvation Army says it’s partnering with Target to help 30 school children get all the supplies and clothing they’ll need to go back to school this fall.

On Tuesday, each child is getting an $80 Target gift card and reusable shopping bag. They’re being paired up with volunteers from The Salvation Army to help them pick out items for their shopping spree.

Organizers say nearly 500 Target stores around the country are participating in the one-day event.
