What an incredible day at our 2026 Back to School Bash! ❤️ Over 700 people came together for an afternoon of food, fun, prayer, worship, and community.
As we continue looking through photos, videos, stories, and feedback from the day, we’re excited to share more of what God did. There is so much more to come!
But before we do, we want to pause and recognize the incredible generosity and support of so many people in our community. We could not have done this without you!
A HUGE thank you to:
Cornerstone Church for donations, volunteers, and so much more!
Parents for Transition for providing several barbers and helping provide 50+ FREE haircuts!
The Bradley Jacob Dow Foundation for partnering with us to provide hundreds of backpacks and school supplies!
Chelsea’s Treasure Chest for proving hundreds of balloon creations and so much more!
Matt Mulder Team Real Estate for donating the food!
D&A Handyman L.L.C for donating bikes and giveaway items!

And a very special thank you to many private donors in our community!
We also want to thank every volunteer, prayer warrior, and servant who gave their energy and talents to make this day possible. Your generosity and service mattered!
Because of YOU, children went home ready for school. Families enjoyed a meal and a fun day together. Children received haircuts, school supplies, giveaways, snow cones, balloon creations, and so much more!
But most importantly, families were reminded that their community loves them!
Above all, we give GOD all the glory! 🙏 Thank you for helping us be the hands and feet of Jesus in our city. What a blessing to see what can happen when we work together!
And this is just the beginning... We have so many more photos, videos, stories, and feedback that we can't wait to share. Stay tuned!
