CONWAY — North Country Cares’ seventh annual Back-to-School Backpack Giveaway at the First Church of Christ, Congregational in North Conway featured a new drive-thru format that was deemed a great success by Executive Director Emily Smith-Mossman.

Having that format for the Aug. 14 event was efficient in terms of both delivery of items to families and of post-event cleanup by organizers.
