Help serve at

Back to School 2024

Saturday, July 27 @ 11am to 2pm

Compassion for Community will be sponsoring our yearly Back to School event for the Spring Community. Every school aged child and youth, from Kindergarten to 12th grade, will receive a free pair of new shoes and a backpack (while supplies last) for the upcoming school year.

Last year we handed out over 1,200 free pairs of new shoes and 1,000 backpacks. This phenomenal event continues to grow and is known as a huge blessing to all those around us. That means we're going to need your help.

If you've been looking for a place to serve and volunteer, this is your opportunity. Please see the list of teams below. We will need at least 250 volunteers.

If you’re unable to volunteer but would like to donate financially to this event, please click the link below. Your proceeds will go towards the purchase of new shoes and backpacks.

Together we can continue to support our students and make a difference within our community!
