Back to School Bash

CH/LSS Eustis Building – Saint Paul, MN

Thursday, August 21 from 5:00pm–7:00pm

Celebrate the start of the school year with us at our annual Back to School Bash! This free, family-friendly event is made possible through the Minnesota Department of Children, Youth, and Families’ Permanency Support Service grant.

The event supports youth in foster care, including those cared for by relatives and kinship caregivers. Each child attending will receive a backpack and essential school supplies. Families can also enjoy a light dinner, connect with community resources, and participate in fun activities like face painting, games, and visits with certified therapy llamas!

All foster families across Minnesota are welcome — especially those in relative or kinship care.

What to expect:

• Backpacks and school supplies
• Light dinner
• Community resource connections
• Face painting, games, and therapy llamas
• Open-house format, drop in anytime between 5:00pm and 7:00pm
