Backpacks for Students

Thanks to the kindness and generosity of local churches, civic clubs and businesses, Barrow County families can pick up a free backpack filled with school supplies for their child before the start of the school year.

The backpacks will be given out during a drive-through event at the Bethlehem Church 316 Campus on Saturday, July 29 from 9 a.m. until Noon or while supplies last.

The address for Bethlehem Church 316 Campus is 548 Christmas Avenue, Bethlehem.

• Parents/guardians will be asked for their student's name and current school.
• Students do not need to be present.
• Limit of up to 4 backpacks per household.

We are grateful to the wonderful churches, businesses, Partners in Education, and organizations that made this all possible for our students!
