The Back to School Bash

The Back to School Bash is our largest outreach event over the summer, and we need your help! Last year, hundreds of people came by, and the line to get in wrapped around the block. We gave school supply kits to 535 students last year, but many children and youth were left without supplies when we ran out. This year, we are hoping to have at least 1,500 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.
