Get ready! Back-to-School Bash is back and bigger than ever!
Join us on Saturday, July 25, 2026 from 10AM–1PM for Families First’s annual Back-to-School Bash, a vibrant community celebration dedicated to setting Atlanta’s students and families up for an incredible school year!
Each July, we bring the community together to make sure families in need have everything they need to thrive. Families receive backpacks packed with school supplies, bags of groceries, a delicious free lunch, exciting activities, and access to vital community resources.
Last year, we served over 1,000 attendees, distributed 792 backpacks, provided 300 bags of groceries, and partnered with 35 community organizations. This year promises to be our most impactful Bash yet, and we can’t wait to see you there!
A Special Thank You to our Partners!
The 2026 Back-to-School Bash would not have been possible without the generosity of our community partners. We are deeply grateful to:
Samson Tours, for helping our families get where they needed to be. Your support made a real difference in ensuring the community could access Back-to-School Bash.
Lindsay Street Baptist Church, for opening your doors and your parking lot to our families this year. Your hospitality is the foundation this event is built on.
Interdenominational Theological Center (ITC), for your continued partnership and belief in the mission of Families First.
The Home Depot, for assisting us with truck rental for grocery pickup. Your support helped ensure our families received the groceries they needed.
To each of you: thank you for standing with Families First and investing in the children and families of Atlanta.

Together, we can empower every child to walk into the classroom ready, confident, and equipped to succeed. Your sponsorship makes that possible!
By becoming a sponsor, your generosity directly provides backpacks and essential school supplies for students of all ages, giving them the tools they need to start the school year strong. There is no better way to show your commitment to our community than by investing in Atlanta’s children.
