Communities In Schools' 11th Annual Parent Expo Community Resource Fair
What: Communities In Schools of Georgia's 11th Annual Parent Expo community resource fair and backpack giveaway
About the Event: After 2 years of drive-thru events, this year the Expo returns to Heritage Park to host Henry County Schools’ Family & Student Services, nonprofits, government agencies, youth camps, tutoring services, and more. Corporations are welcome to sponsor our backpack giveaway! Past Expos had approximately 1,000 people total in attendance, parents and kids.
Why: Many students face challenges that increase the risk of dropping out of school like hunger, homelessness, bullying, trauma, medical or dental conditions, and lack of school supplies and clothes. Although forms of support are available in the community, services are spread across different agencies and organizations, making it difficult for parents to identify what is available.
Special notes: Mandatory stop sponsors can request exclusivity to type (tutor, bank, insurance, church, etc). Gold will have total exclusivity as presenting sponsor.
School Supply Option is available for churches etc where it may be easier for them to collect bags than make a monetary donation.
