Daviess-McLean Baptist Center Hosting Annual Back To School Bash

The Daviess-McLean County Baptist Center provides help to many different families in our community.  This year they are helping kids get prepared to head back to school.

ALWAYS DEPENDABLE

Several families depend on the baptist mission for a hand-up during the year.  Before school starts they always try to help ease the parent's minds and build each child's confidence by making sure they are fully prepared for school.

AFTERSCHOOL SERVICES

They also host "The Zone" afterschool program for students in the Mechanicsville neighborhood each week during the school year.  Afterschool activities will be dependant upon COVID-19 and the availability of volunteers for the program.

ITEMS AVAILABLE DURING THE BACK TO SCHOOL BASH

The following items will be included in the annual backpack giveaway depending on the age and grade of each child:

• Pens/Pencils
• Pencil Sharpeners
