LOCAL EVENTS
What began in Summer 2022 as an effort to assist families coming out of COVID and attempting to recover from the economic impact, has now become an annual event to provide school supplies, family resources and fun activities for local families. The fourth Annual Back To School Bash will take place Sunday, Aug. 3 from 3 to 6 p.m. at Cuauhtemoc Hall, located at 1100 Patton Street. Backpacks are first come first serve and students must attend to receive them.
“We understood that family finances were being stretched during those difficult economic times, and we wanted to provide some support,” Maria Rocha, ICI elder and co-Founder, said. “We provided 200-plus backpacks and school supplies for students who attended the event. This effort was sig- nificant for our local parents, many who were struggling to provide basic needs for their families.”
