The hot days of summer are still with us yet the startup of the 2025-26 school year is not that far away.  To help families get ready, Caring & Sharing in Unity and Winn Healthy Initiatives Coalition will be holding their annual “Back to School Party” this Friday.

“We’re having a party and you’re invited,” announce organizers.  “We’re helping your get ready to begin a new school year.”  This year, the location of the fun event has been shifted to the gym of the Winnfield First Assembly of God which is located at 5693 Hwy 167 North (near the Calvin Road turnoff).

The party will begin at 11 a.m. and continue through 2 p.m.

Useful items provided through the efforts of service organizations and vendors on hand will include free school supplies, hygiene & toiletry items, snacks and information on educational and social services.

But what would a party be without fun and there will be lots of that.  Organizers promise fun and games, water slides and door prizes.  There will also be live music by Franklin Williams and snacks to include nachos, popcorn and show cones.
