Back 2 School Bash
Equipping kids. Encouraging families.
For many families in our community, the start of school is stressful, not exciting. School supplies are expensive, and even a simple list can feel overwhelming when you struggle to put food on the table.
That's why 5 Loaves Ministries hosts the annual Back 2 School Bash, providing local students with the essentials they need to start the year confidently, and with a smile.
Why it matters
A new backpack and fresh supplies can do more than prepare a child for class—they can restore dignity, ease stress, and remind families they're not alone.
In 2025, we served over 300 local children. We expect to serve even more in 2026
Each child receives a curated bag with age-appropriate supplies like:
- Backpacks
- Notebooks
- Crayons, pencils, and folders
- Hygiene items and snacks (as available)
This event helps students feel ready, included, and supported in the school year.
