The Southwest Community Health Center in Bridgeport hosted a back-to-school giveaway and COVID-19 testing drive on Wednesday.

Organizers say the event was designed to donate school supplies to children and encourage families to take advantage of free coronavirus testing.

Hundreds of backpacks, books and notebooks were distributed to students while hundreds of tests were performed.

The Southwest Community Health Center is offering community COVID-19 testing every Wednesday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. 

The center also operates six health centers in Bridgeport Public Schools. 

The event also had kiosks for families to register to vote or fill out their census survey.
