After teaming up with the project in 2015 by do- nating 200 boxes of cray- ons, Matilyn Szychulda, 11, is back to help again and this time is stepping up her efforts to donate back- packs. The two-day event this weekend, which includes the Great Shopping Day Saturday at Wal-Mart and Cuts For Kids Sunday at the Red Bluff Community Center, was started by Kim Berry in 2004.

"I am so impressed with Matilyn's heart for com- munity service," Berry said.
