Event Description

We are excited to host our sixth annual Trunk Party for our youth heading to college or a trade school this August. For many participants, acquiring school supplies has always been challenging. They are leaving home and heading out alone for the first time. Our goal is to create trunks of supplies for our youth to take to school so they can arrive prepared and ready to learn.

Trunks will include items such as Backpacks, notebooks, twin-size sheet Sets (extra-long), pillows, laundry detergent, shower caddy, shower shoes, bath towels, first aid kits, AND MORE!
