GREEN BAY, Wis. (WFRV) – Hundreds of families filled Green Bay First Church on Sunday morning for the eighth annual Back to School Bash, a community event aimed at giving students a fresh start to the school year.
The church handed out more than 800 backpacks stuffed with school supplies, along with free groceries, haircuts, and meals. Outside, kids enjoyed bounce houses, carnival games, and even a dunk tank while parents connected with volunteers. Organizers say the goal is to ease the burden for families while making sure every student heads to class prepared.
