Kids at LRAFB Get Back-to-School Backpacks from Jacksonville Crew
08/07/2016
Living and working in the moving shadows of hulking C-130s as they fly training runs around central Arkansas, it was a natural fit for employees at Entergy Arkansas’ Jacksonville Service Center to take part in a program to benefit families living at the Little Rock Air Force Base.
On Aug. 5 eight employees delivered and helped hand a portion of the 300+ school backpacks for children of E—E6-level airman, which are some of the lower-paid positions. Entergy contributed $1,000 to Operation Homefront to help purchase the backpacks, and other businesses helped fill them up with school supplies.
