Ready for the school year

Christian Community Service Center’s (CCSC) Back to School event was a huge success. More than 500 volunteers worked from April through August to provide new school supplies, backpacks, and clothing gift cards to more than 4,000 underserved students so they could have a good start to the new school year. Bellaire United Methodist Church hosted program registration for pre-K through 12th-grade students and supplies were distributed at Faith Lutheran Church during the August event.
