Christian Community Service Center’s (CCSC) back-to-school event provided supplies for more than 4,000 Houston-area students as they started the new school year. CCSC held a school registration event at Bellaire United Methodist Church and distributed supplies at Faith Lutheran Church. Since 1986, CCSC member church congregations, community supporters, and volunteers have worked together to ensure that underserved children have what they need for school. This year, thousands of pre-kindergarten through 12th grade students each received new, grade-appropriate school supplies, a new backpack, and a clothing gift card.
