Members of the Gamma Iota chapter of Omega Psi Phi fraternity gave away approximately $1,000 worth of school supplies during the final Sumter Family Fun Days event on Thursday. This past week marked the last day of the summer series, wrapping up the third year Sumter city and county officials have bonded with local children while playing softball and other sports at South Side Park on Sumter Street. To help the children prepare for the quickly approaching school year, the fraternity provided book bags and other school supplies and also gave away free jackets.
