On August 10, 2024, Coptic Orthodox Charities (C.O.C), in partnership with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, hosted a vibrant Back to School event that brought smiles, excitement, and valuable resources to families in our community.

 

More than 150 backpacks filled with essential school supplies were distributed to students, helping them start the new school year with confidence and readiness. The day began with a hearty breakfast, creating a friendly and inviting atmosphere for arriving families.

 

One of the highlights of the day was a special visit from the local fire department, who spoke to the children about fire safety and emergency preparedness. Their presence was not only informative but also inspiring for many young attendees.

 

The event was packed with fun activities—from face painting to interactive games—ensuring that kids of all ages had a memorable and joyful experience.

 

We’re grateful to everyone who contributed to making this day a success, from volunteers and community partners to the wonderful families who joined us. Here's to a safe, fun, and successful school year ahead!
