Get a head start on what your students will need for the 2025/2026 school season! Parents with students of all grade levels are invited to attend Trinity Lutheran Church’s (TLC) traditional “Backpack Blowout” on Tuesday, Aug. 12.
The event takes place from 6-7 p.m. and offers free backpacks stuffed with age-appropriate school supplies that are provided by TLC’s WHO (Women Helping Others) group. In addition, attendees will enjoy a free walking taco dinner, games for all ages, raffles with prizes, books for children, various children’s activities and so much more.
All are welcome. TLC simply requires that students be present with parents to select their free backpacks.
Trinity Lutheran Church is located one mile west of the New Era expressway exit on Stony Lake Road. For additional information about the Backpack Blowout and TLC, call 231-861-4059 Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to noon, or visit their website: www.tlcnewera.org.
