Backpack and Beyond is an annual mission and outreach to serve students in our community with backpacks, school supplies, and other community resources. Our goal this year is to supply over 300 children with a new backpack and the school supplies they need to make the 2024-2025 school year a success!
BACKPACK AND BEYOND COMMUNITY EVENT
AUGUST 3, 10AM TO NOON
The community event, from 10am to noon on Saturday, August 3, will include opportunities to shop for backpacks and pick up school supplies, in addition to connections with community resources. In partnership with Christ Child Society, referrals will be provided for families who need additional assistance. Children who register for Christ Child Society support during the event can receive new coats, shoes, underwear, socks, and school uniforms.
