Our annual Back to School Giveaway provides new backpacks & grade-appropriate school supplies to local children (Kindergarten through 12th grade) needing assistance each July.
This year the give-away will be a drive-thru that follows social distancing guidelines, including attendees staying in their vehicles, volunteers wearing masks. Also, the school age child MUST be present with their parent/guardian to receive their backpack and supplies.
Last year 183 volunteers served 1,123 children backpacks/supplies, 900 breakfast burritos, and 40 haircuts here in Glendale; in Puerto Peñasco, Mexico 100 children were served backpacks/supplies through our church plant there; our Food Bank was provided 70 backpacks to be given out.
Drive-thru our campus with your child on the event date. We recommend arriving early as the line is usually long. When supplies run out, the event is over (usually approx 2-3 hours).
RSVP so we can plan, but please understand that an RSVP does not guarantee you will receive a backpack or school supplies (it’s first come, first served). Also, to receive, you and your children must be in the car.
Develop healthy habits & skills.
Bless others by giving back.
