The Salvation Army East Lake Center at 2140 East 28th St. will open its doors to the community for its Annual Back to School Bash on Saturday from 1-3 p.m.
For the parents in the community, the event will host several community resource booths with partnering agencies and businesses distributing information for low income families. For the children, there will be dozens of carnival type games filled with opportunities to win school supplies to better prepare the children for school. Volunteers will be on hand distributing hot dogs, cotton candy, popcorn and snow cones for all.
“We are happy to provide this opportunity to gain useful resources and have fun,” staid Lt. Ruth Cancia. “It looks like it will be a very warm day, so we will have the swimming pool open too.”
All are welcome to attend this free event. The Salvation Army is expecting close to 500 people as attended in years past.
