We recently held a family back-to-school party for Little Village families in partnership with Farragut Career Academy. This allowed us to connect neighborhood families with resources and prepare them for a successful school year.  

More than 850 people enjoyed free food, haircuts, children’s games, outdoor sports, pony rides, and raffles. Families with school-age children and youth also received backpacks and supplies. 

Different sports activities were carried out simultaneously, such as a community soccer game, softball, and basketball skills competitions. As a final closing, we held an All-Star softball game, with players from the Little Village Summer Softball league. 

We are grateful for Farragut Career Academy for opening their doors and partnering with us to bring joy and healthy fun to the families. Once again, we are convinced that when local neighbors, non-profit organizations, churches, and schools come together, we can bring unity for a better world. Special thanks to the staff, volunteers, teachers, and administrators who helped make this event a success.
