Davidson Residents Invited to Participate in Back2School Community Event
Please consider supporting the Annual Back to School event.
Gethsemane Baptist Church of Lake Norman, in partnership with Davidson United Methodist Church, Lake Forest – Davidson, St. Alban’s Episcopal Church, and Davidson College Presbyterian Church, will host its 15th annual Back2School Community Outreach on Saturday, August 14, 2021, from 10:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. To view a promotional video, click here.
You can make a monetary donation or buy these supplies to help fill the backpacks.
Back2School aims to equip 600 K-12 students for the upcoming school year by providing book bags and school supplies to those who register for the event by August 1. Also for 2021, there is a limited supply of supplies for college students who register by August 1. Those interested can either register online or call 704-892-1635.
There are multiple ways that Davidson residents can offer their support for this event:
- Make an online monetary donation through Givelify by clicking here.
- Make a donation by check, payable to Gethsemane Baptist Church at 565 Jetton Street, Davidson, NC 28036.
- Donate a $25 gift card or supplies (see list imaged) by Friday, August 6.
Despite the shift to a drive-through event in 2020, Back2School Community Outreach distributed bags and supplies to 677 students. The August 14, 2021 outreach will remain a drive through event.
For more information or questions, see Gethsemane Baptist Church’s website www.gbclakenorman.org or reach out to Tracy Mattison Brandon at 704-892-1635.
