Description:
On Saturday, August 16th, we’re honored to partner with Mary Nelson for her 21st Annual Back-to-School Giveaway—an event that brings thousands together in love, support, and community. Volunteers will help distribute backpacks, school supplies, and fresh groceries, as well as serve at our prayer tent to offer hope and encouragement to families preparing for a new school year.

This is a high-energy, high-impact day of serving, where every smile, prayer, and helping hand makes a difference.

🎒 Let’s show up united, ready to bless and build up our community for the school year ahead.

*If you’re unable to attend the kickoff rally, your Serve Week shirt and gift will be available at your serve site
