Back to School Bash!

Our Back to School Bash turns parking lots into a place where families and children make new friends, and children get the needed motivation for the upcoming school year. This year we celebrated the 2019-2020 upcoming school year with families at The Melrose Impact Center. Donations came pouring in and put us at 250+ backpacks and school supplies this year. We had over 150 people register in just 2 weeks, and over 200 people showed up.

We were entertained by Zion Global Ministries' youth choir, City Gospel Mission's Princesses Ballet, and MaKenzie Thomas from NBC's The Voice. Our neighborhood business showed up in numbers. Easterseals, Certified Excellence, Staunton Primary Care, Closing The Health Gap, the Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County, and many more! Our local youth in leadership "We Lead 4 Real" helped organize, register and promote this entire event along with Zion Global Ministries' youth team.

We thank each and every volunteer, business, and youth worker who contributed to make this another special family event!
