Our sincerest thanks go out to all of the volunteers, box hosts, donors, sponsors, and supporters of HOPE Helps who made our 18th Annual Kids of HOPE Back to School Bash possible on Saturday August 1st, 2026. With your help, we served over 400 local children in need to get everything they needed to start the school year off prepared. Backpacks, notebooks, writing supplies, calculators, scissors, glue, ear and eye exams, fluoride treatments, and more were distributed at no cost to our client families to help them in their time of crisis.
Our registered clients reported feeling more prepared for the return to class, and looking forward to allocating funds saved through the bash to paying off debts, growing their savings, affording healthier food options for their family, and more. With your help, we took another step to preventing and reducing hunger and homelessness in Seminole County.
Thank you to Orlando Health, returning presenting sponsor of the bash, for their support in making this event a reality.
