Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the Deltona Fire Rescue Department’s annual backpack giveaway will operate like a drive-thru this Saturday.
The giveaway — an effort of Deltona firefighters, AdventHealth, Volusia County Hispanic Association, Crunch Fitness, Halifax Health and the Volusia County Sheriff’s Office — will take place from 8 to 11 a.m. at the Dewey O. Boster Sports Complex, 1200 Saxon Blvd., while supplies last, according to a city news release. Motorists should enter the park from Saxon Boulevard and exit onto Section Line Trail.
