The NYPD’s 24th precinct will be giving away backpacks on Friday from 11 am to 4 pm at its second annual resource fair on West 106th Street between Manhattan Avenue & Central Park West. There will also apparently be a rock climbing wall.

“We have 600+ stuffed backpacks to give out (no sign-up needed, first come first serve),” the precinct said.

The precinct is accepting donations, including backpacks, pens, pencils and notebooks. People can drop off items at the 24th precinct located at 151 W 100th Street.
