The Gathering is hosting its 2nd annual Back 2 School Party on August 17th! At this event, our church provides over 300 kids with backpacks, school supplies, hair cuts, school shirts & socks, and a whole lot of fun! They invite the whole family and have a grill out, carnival style games, bouncy house, face painting and MORE!
This year, they have over 400 kids signed up- we are expecting this to be an impactful day!
This is an incredible opportunity to make a difference for families in the community! I'd love to invite you to partner with us on this event! If you're interested, here's a couple of ways you can get involved:
1) Volunteer at the Event: We need a LOT of people to help make this event great! We have volunteer positions available in every area (school supplies, hair cuts, food, kids games, security, etc). Last year, we were able to have some of you come and represent Robbinsdale/Hennepin County- whether that is a social service, a volunteer program, etc. We'd love to do that again-if you work for a non profit, state/county entity, or are part of a community focused business, we'd love to talk to you!
2) Donate School Supplies, Money (Tax Deductible), or some type of service (are you a barber? a business owner?). We have many needs. If you're interested, there's 3 ways you can donate:
3) Spread the Word: if you know someone who would like to make a difference in the lives of families in a tangible way, please give them my contact info.
On August 11th, The Gathering is giving out FREE backpacks, school supplies, haircuts, and clothes to get you ready for school! It’s almost time to go back 2 school, and we know that while it’s fun to prepare for school, it can be expensive! That’s why we want to hook you and your family up!
