Back to School Bash

As students prepare to go back to school at the end of summer, Centre First United Methodist Church realized that there were many children in our community in need.  The needs ranged from school supplies and back packs to haircuts and new clothes.

In 2013, the church started the Back to School Bash.  The Back to School Bash is a fun evening of food, felllowship and service.  Families in need are invited to the church for a meal, then escorted through the church by church members we call "Shepherds."  Shepherds take families to various services offered including:

Backpacks filled with School Supplies
Bibles
Back to School Haircuts
Vision Testing provided by the Lions Club
Vouchers to K-Mart for new clothes
Dental Care items provided by Sarell Dental Center

All of these items are services are offered free of charge.  In 2013, 200 volunteers served almost 600 people in need!

In 2014, we had our largest outreach event EVER with the Back 2 School Bash.  The church served 941 people, gave away over 600 back packs, gave 100 haircuts, and so much more. 
Centre First UMC is grateful to have a lot of wonderful organizations and businesses that have helped us make our outreach events a success including:
K-Mart, Piggly Wiggly, Wal-Mart, The Lighthouse Restaurant, Mill Creek Party Rentals, and many more!
