The Back to School Bash

The Back to School Bash is our largest summer outreach event. Last year, hundreds of people came by, and the line to get in wrapped around the block. We were able to give backpacks and school supplies to 536 students in our community! This year, we hope to have 800 school supply boxes to give away, but we will need your help!

ICI Back to School Supply Drive

Thank you for providing back-to-school essentials for students in our community! Many of the families in our neighborhood struggle to buy basic school supplies in the best of times, so with a tough economy, we want to support them in every way possible while sharing the hope and love of Jesus. If you’d like to build a school supply box or donate school supplies, please reach out to us at info@icichicago.org.
