Gear Up for School Success: Free Back-to-School Events!

Back-to-School Events: Free Supplies and Resources for Every Family

By D. Rausch July 17, 2023


As the back-to-school season approaches, many families face the daunting challenge of buying essential school supplies for their kiddos. 

Those supplies lists get longer and longer and with the increase in the cost of everything, our MacKID families might feel overwhelmed.

We found a few back-to-school events from local institutions that are stepping up to provide a solution. Some of these events offer free supplies and resources, ensuring every child has the necessary tools to succeed.
