Community Celebration​​

The Community Celebration has been going on for 15 years now thanks to the heart & leadership of S.E.R.A. What started as a small neighborhood event has now grown into a city wide celebration rooted in love, fun, and investment in our youth!  We provide free backpacks, school supplies, shoes, and more to local students helping them start the school year prepared and proud.

​

This event is about bringing our community together to celebrate, heal, support our families, and to make sure our young people go back to school feeling equipped, empowered, and uplifted.​

Why It Matters

For many families, back-to-school season brings financial stress. By helping cover the basics, we’re easing that burden and setting kids up for success from day one. Every donation ensures a child walks into school with confidence, dignity, and everything they need to thrive.

​

Our Impact

• Over 9,000 students supported over the past 3 years

• Thousands of backpacks filled with grade-appropriate supplies K-12th

• Shoes, and food are distributed

• A joyful free community event with games, prizes, music, and resources for families
