This year’s Back to School Bash wants to fill the book bags of over 100 less-fortunate kindergarten through 12th grade students with school supplies — and they’re going to need help.

The bash is planned for Aug. 9 from 12:30p.m. to 6:30p.m. at the Chapel Hill Faith Tabernacle at 800 Rogers Rd.

“There will be the fun and games, but also a chance for people to support the youth in the community,” Rev. Robert Campbell said.

The Orange County Sheriff Department will speak to discourage gangs and drugs and will give out informational pamphlets about the implications of both, he said.

“We’re all growing together in this community,” Campbell said. “We need to let the young folks know that we are going to stand with them and we are going to guide them.”
