Lots of work and lots of fun is a great way to describe what goes into Fresh and New Back to School Events each year! Another year is done but partnering with so many great churches, organizations and businesses to make it happen and meeting so many new people as we come together to help over 1,000 kids and hundreds of families get ready for school to start is what it's all about! The Table- Irving was lucky to be apart of of this event once again this year.
This year we had four different locations spread out at four different churches over two weekends. Thanks to the staff and all the volunteers at our host churches: Irving Bible Church, Christ Church Irving, MacArthur Blvd Baptist Church, and First Irving. A total of 260+ volunteers helped make this event happen at all these locations as we worked together to offer backpacks, school supplies, uniforms, gift cards for shoes, school physicals, eye exams, hair cuts, resources from nonprofits and even diapers this year.
We are so grateful to be a part of these beautiful partnerships with organizations that love people and serve families, Embassy City Church, Carter's House, Lions Clubs International, 2435 Kinwest Medical Clinic, the Target Distribution Warehouse, MJ Beauty Academy, Clean UP usa, MarqBlendz Barber School, Irving Cares, Metrocare Services, Irving Family Advocacy Center, Youth180, Irving Public Library, Crisis Ministries and The Main Place.
Irving helping Irving! No one organization can do it all! It truly takes a community to bring real help and hope to the city and the churches, nonprofits and businesses in Irving continue to come and work together to make that happen! Thanks to everyone!
