Quindell Palmer stopped by the office of On Point for College Tuesday to pick up a new backpack, bedsheets, notebooks, pencils and other supplies he will need when he goes to college for the first time next month.

"On Point will step in for my mom because she will be so far away and they will help me with all the last minute stuff," Palmer said.
