Back to School Bash
Because Every Child Deserves to Start Strong
More Than a Backpack
Back-to-school season can be overwhelming, especially for families facing financial strain. At United Church, we refuse to look the other way.
Now in our second year, the Back to School Bash is back as a free community event designed to bless Atlanta families with practical help and unfiltered joy. Last year we made a difference. This year, we're making a movement.
Come ready to give, come ready to receive, come ready to celebrate.

Yes, we ask that all families register in advance so we can plan well and make sure we’re ready to serve everyone who comes. Services and supplies will be available while they last, and registration helps us prepare enough for as many families as possible.

Any student in need, grades K–12. Backpacks are first come, first served.

Absolutely! The more, the merrier.

Not at all. This is for anyone in the community.
