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 being cared for by relatives and kinship caregivers. Each child attending will receive a backpack and essential school supplies. Families can also enjoy snacks, connect with community resources, and participate in fun activities like face painting, games, and visits with certified therapy llamas! At this time, this event is reserved for families providing relative or kinship care throughout Minnesota.

What to expect:

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