As families across Northeast Florida prepare for the start of the school year, Ascension St. Vincent’s is hosting a free back-to-school community event in Arlington to help local students head back to class with the supplies and support they need.
On Saturday, July 25, families can receive free backpacks and school supplies, haircuts and enjoy family-friendly activities, including safety demonstrations, crafts, games and snacks. The event is designed to ease the financial burden on families while helping children start the school year safely and confidently. The event will be held from 10 a.m. to noon at Ascension St. Vincent's Emergency Care — Arlington, 9820 Hutchinson Park Drive, Jacksonville.
Children must be present to receive school supplies and backpacks.
Students don’t have to live in Duval County to attend. Anyone who may need the extra help to start the year strong is welcome.
