Community Fun Day and Back to School Event

  • Garden of Gethsemane Church of God in Christ 3501 Bunker Hill Road Mount Rainier, MD, 20712 United States (map)

It’s almost time for our students to head back to school and we want to support parents by providing free school supplies so they can cross one more thing off their “to-do list.” We know preparing for the school season can be tasking and we want to help the parents and students in our community. Our desire is to equip our community with the resources they need to succeed in every area of their lives. That’s why we’re hosting a community fun day focused on family, health, education, and overall wellbeing for those right in our backyard.

What can you expect?

  • Free school supplies for students ages 5-17

  • Free Hair Cuts for Youth in grades K-12 by Parlae Cuts (first come, first serve)

  • Opportunity to win tickets to The Crayola Experience in Easton, PA

  • Free Health Screenings and Health Education Materials

  • CPR Training

  • Free snow cones, popcorn, and cotton candy

  • Non-perishable organic and sustainable food distribution

  • Arts & Crafts, Games, Moon Bounce, and Activities for Adults & Youth

  • Food, Giveaways, and More!
