Back-to-School Bash 2025
Our Back-to-School Bash has been an annual event since 2018! During this special event we give out hundreds of bags filled with most of the required DISD school supplies for grades Pre-K through 12. This is one of our biggest ministries and we couldn’t do it without your help!
We’re collecting school supplies until July 16. We will fill backpacks after church on Sunday, July 20. The bash itself is on Saturday, August 2, from 8-10 am and is available to any youth in our community. Dallas ISD will be providing clear backpacks to all DISD students this year. We will provide school supplies in drawstring bags.
If you can, please consider donating supplies. Monetary donations are also welcome- just make sure that they are noted as for the Back-to-School Bash. Visit Givelify for online giving.
So that we know which items/quantities are being provided, please sign up for the supplies you’re buying on our signup genius page. If you’d like, there are some online sources available for bulk or wholesale purchasing (you’ll need to look for individual items).
