Stoddard County, Missouri -  Are you worried about how to get your child the things they need to start the school year?  Hope International and several other partnering organizations want to help!

Their Back to School Bash are designed to be a “one stop shop”.  You will be able to get your child’s hair cut, get a clothing voucher, get a vision, hearing, and dental check, and leave with a backpack full of supplies for each child.

All you have to do is register!

Registration is open from June 25th – July 15th.  Just call (573) 293-4673 to register.

The Back to School Bash at Bernie will be August 2nd from 10:00 a.m. – 1 p.m. at the Bernie Community Center for Bernie Public Schools and Dexter Public Schools.

The Back to School Bash for Essex, Puxico, Bloomfield, and Advance schools will be held at the Bloomfield FEMA Building on August 16th from 10:00 a.m. – 1 p.m.

If you would like to donate school supplies please contact (573) 293-4673.  Hope International is still in need of items as well as volunteers.

This is NOT a low-income only opportunity.  They want everyone with children to benefit from these events.  Getting a child ready to go back to school can be very stressful and hard on a family. They want to make the Back 2 School process a fun and enjoyable day for everyone.
