Back to School Giveaway

Doors open at 8:00 AM.
Pre-registration & volunteer sign-up begins in June.
Our annual Back to School Giveaway provides new backpacks, grade-appropriate school supplies, and free haircuts to local children (Kindergarten through 12th grade) needing assistance in the NW Valley each July.
Last year 174 volunteers served 949 children backpacks/supplies, 960 breakfast burritos & pancake plates, and 55 haircuts; in Peoria 22 volunteers served 62 children backpacks/supplies; in Puerto Peñasco, Mexico 100 children were served backpacks/supplies through our church plant there; our Food Bank was provided 100 backpacks to be given out.
Join us next year as a guest or volunteer to help! Also, please spread the word to a family you may know in need.

You can also make monetary donations used to purchase grade-appropriate supplies at the lobby table.
Volunteer at the event or the pre-event sorting party. There are dozens of ways to volunteer your time and energy! Sign up at a lobby table, or online.

Need school supplies?
Come to our Glendale 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).
To receive supplies both you and your children must be present and in line.
