COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KOAA) — This upcoming Saturday, July 25, Pikes Peak United Way is hosting its annual Community Block Party to prepare students for going back to school.
From 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., families can visit the Family Success Center (1520 Verde Drive) for a variety of back-to-school resources.
This is the third annual block party hosted by the organization, and it includes;
- backpacks
- haircuts
- vaccines
- food trucks
- games
Pikes Peak United Way says that all students from all local school districts are welcome.
“There are so many pressures facing families as a new school year approaches, and stepping in to ease even some of that burden is at the heart of what it means to be a neighbor."
“This celebration is more than a party; it’s a glimpse of the community we’re building together — a community where partners show up, families feel supported, and students are set up for lasting success.”
Backpacks and other resources are given on a first-come, first-served basis. You can register for a backpack here.
