Milestone Church McKinney Campus Kicks Off Annual Back to School Drive to Aid Families in Need

McKinney, Texas -

Milestone Church McKinney is thrilled to announce its eagerly awaited annual Back to School Drive, organized by Milestone Missions. This initiative, dedicated to supporting single parents and families in need within the Milestone Church community and beyond, will run over the weekends from July 7th to July 28th.

The Back to School Drive is a key event for Milestone Church, showcasing its continuous dedication to community service and support. As the new school year approaches, Milestone Church is rallying the community to join forces and contribute to this vital cause.

Dates: Weekends from July 6th to July 28th

Location: Milestone Church Commons, 601 S Custer Rd, McKinney, TX 75072

The drive is designed to ease the financial strain on single parents and families by providing essential school supplies and resources. With educational expenses on the rise, many families find it challenging to equip their children for academic success. By joining the drive, community members can make a real difference in the lives of local students.

At Milestone Church, members and staff recognize the strength of community and the significance of mutual support. The annual Back to School Drive underscores the church’s commitment to assisting families in need and ensuring every child has the tools necessary for a successful school year.
