Keller, Texas -

Milestone Church, a leading community-centered congregation in Keller, Texas, is excited to announce its highly anticipated annual Back to School Drive, hosted by Milestone Missions. The event, aimed at supporting single parents and families in need within the Milestone Church family and the broader community, will take place over the weekends from July 6th to July 28th.

The Back to School Drive is a cornerstone event for Milestone Church, reflecting its ongoing commitment to serve and support the community. As students prepare for the upcoming school year, Milestone Church is calling on the community to come together and contribute to this impactful cause.

Dates: Weekends from July 6th to July 28th
Location: Milestone Church Commons, 201 Mount Gilead Rd, Keller, TX 76248

The Back to School Drive aims to alleviate the financial burden on single parents and families in need by providing essential school supplies and resources. With the rising cost of education, many families face challenges in equipping their children with the necessary tools for academic success. By participating in the drive, community members can make a tangible difference in the lives of local students.

Milestone Church believes in the power of community and the importance of supporting each other. The annual Back to School Drive is a testament to the church’s commitment to helping families in need and ensuring that every child has the opportunity to succeed in the upcoming school year.

There are several ways for individuals and businesses to get involved in the Back to School Drive:

Shop and Donate: Community members are encouraged to purchase new backpacks, lunch boxes, school supplies, or $25 gift cards to Walmart or Target and bring them to the Missions table in the Commons. Financial Contributions: Donations to cover the costs of needed items can be made at the Missions table or online by selecting Keller Campus/Missions. Volunteer Opportunities: Volunteers are needed to serve at the Missions table, collecting donations during weekend services in July, or to assist at the Back to School Event. Virtual School Supply Drive: For those who prefer online shopping, a virtual school supply drive option is available. Items can be purchased online and mailed to Milestone Church.

All donations must be dropped off at the Missions table in the Commons or mailed by July 28th.

Last year, Milestone Church's Back to School Drive successfully collected over 500 backpacks filled with supplies, distributed to families across the community. This year, the goal is to exceed this number, ensuring that even more students start the school year with confidence and the tools they need to succeed.

Each donation, no matter the size, makes a significant impact. Whether it's a new backpack, a lunch box, or a financial contribution, your support helps make a real difference in the lives of children and families in the community.

Milestone Church invites all community members, businesses, and organizations to join in this important effort. The Back to School Drive is not only an opportunity to give back but also a chance to strengthen community bonds and support local families.

Each volunteer’s involvement can change a child's life. By coming together, those involved can ensure that every student in this community has the tools they need to succeed and thrive in the upcoming school year.
