Back to School Giveaway

Thanks for a great 2020 drive thru give-away!

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.

In 2019

Need school supplies?

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.
