Wellpoint Tennessee, in partnership with the Chattanooga Boys and Girls Club, will be hosting a “Back to School Bash” to help equip children with the supplies and resources they need to prepare for a successful school year.
The event will be held today from noon-2 p.m. at the Boys & Girls Clubs of Chattanooga, 2125 E. 25th Street Pl. in Chattanooga.
During the event, Wellpoint TN and local community-based organizations will distribute 250-300 backpacks and school supplies to local families.
Wellpoint TN is also collecting clothing and shoe donations from local businesses and community-based organizations to benefit the Hamiliton County School District’s “Teacher’s Closet.”
In addition to school supplies, attendees can access health screenings, mental health support and guidance from event organizers, local churches and mental health providers.
The event will also feature food and entertainment, and attendees are welcome to drop in at any time during the event to connect with valuable resources for a successful school year.
