09 Jul Pack-a-Backpack Day – August 3rd and 4th
On Monday, August 3rd and Tuesday, August 4th from 5-7pm, Teen Central will open its building and provide free school supplies and hygiene products for students of all ages (K-12) to come and gather for their back-to-school shopping lists. While we may not be able to cover every supply need that is out there, our goal is to be able to give families a head start to their school shopping needs. Teen Central will supply school supplies that are common across all grades along with basic hygiene supplies and place them out (assembly-line style) in our main gathering room. We will then invite students and parents to bring their own backpack or bag and come to our building during the two different times listed above to pack their bags with the free items being provided. We will also have free backpacks available for anyone who needs one! Teen Central staff, board members, and volunteers will be there to help oversee the process and interact with the community while they are in our building. Along with the school supplies and hygiene items, we will also have bookmarks with our Teen Central information and start date for the school year. Extra goodies like candy, snow cones, and additional information about Teen Central will also be available for the community to take as they take advantage of this free resource/event.
Thank you to all of the community groups, churches, and individual supporters who have partnered with us to help make this event possible again this year! We appreciate your support as we serve our community. Please reach out to Janelle Heying (janelleh@teencentralmanheim.org) with any questions about this event.
