2022 Event recap
In 2022 together, as 50 churches and 30+ businesses and foundations, we made available 3,500+ new shoes, socks and backpacks filled with school supplies to local students! View a complete partner list here.
From haircuts and winter coats to medical checks, produce boxes and mini meals, each fair served as a celebration of the new school year. It was a delight to have many of these additions return to Project Hope, following two years of paired-back adjustments in light of the pandemic.
School district officials remarked at how peaceful each giveaway felt. Plus, at each fair people from 4-12 churches worked together to show Jesus’ love to more than 4,000 guests!
Pre-selected students returning to 4J, Bethel, Springfield and Junction City schools had the opportunity to pick out new athletic shoes, socks, backpacks filled with school supplies, all in a fun-filled fair environment.
