Recognizing and addressing the ever-increasing financial burden of school supplies for our local families, the event provides an opportunity to giveaway free back packs of school supplies while supplies last. With the addition this year of the Community Open House, we look forward to sharing our  newest health center. In the fair-like atmosphere, non-profit and business partners offering local services, return to school information, and important resources to families and children will be present to share and discuss in more detail the variety of services offered. The event has grown steadily over the past nine years; last year over 500 children walked away with a back pack full of school supplies. To date we have given out over 4,500 book bags!
