Join us for food, music, games, and more! This event is free and open to everyone. No registration is required. Children must be present to receive a backpack.

For the last 12 years, New Hope Missionary Baptist Church and Project HOPE have proudly partnered with other churches, organizations, and the community to serve as a resource to provide backpacks and school supplies to families. We are proud to continue to help meet the needs of our community and are gearing up for this year’s event.
