2021 Drive-thru School Supply & Resource Fair Event of the YEAR!

Posted on Jul 13, 2021 By Joseph Siemandel

Elks USA, Operation Homefront and Joint Services Support, invite you to the annual 2021 Back to School Resource Fair! This event is for children attending Kindergarten through 12th Grade. The drive-thru event will allow registered attendees to simply drive their vehicles up to a designated location where they will pull up, sign in, and one of our many volunteers will be placing backpack(s) full of school supplies into the trunk of your vehicle! Each of our six state-wide locations require pre-registration to confirm eligibility. So, please sign up, (see links and registration requirements by location below) to attend if you have not received school supplies from another organization for the coming school year. National Guard and Reservists have priority, Veterans may register on a space available basis after meeting with a Family Assistance Specialist. Only children registered in DEERS qualify for this event.

Please include your child's grade level they will be in for the 2021-2022 school year upon registering to speed up the check-in process.
