Atchison County’s Community Services, Inc. is working on getting ready for the annual Back-to-School Fair to be held in late July. This event assists local students in need by providing them with new school supplies, shoes, haircuts, etc. Going back to school is daunting for anyone, but especially for a child who does not have what they need to succeed. Community Services is asking for monetary donations. Please make your checks payable to Community Services and mail to P.O. Box 294, Tarkio, MO 64491 or drop off at the office located at 322 Main Street in Tarkio.
