Galatia CUSD 1 would like to thank all of the wonderful volunteers who made this year's Back to School Bash possible. We are overwhelmed with the support that continues to pour in to help ensure every child has the best school year yet. We would like to thank Meghan Mitchell and her partners for completing over 50 sports physicals free of charge. Special shoutout to Sean Sloan, Debbie Patterson, and Bill Campbell for providing free haircuts, so that every student can start school feeling their best. Our appreciation to the Staggs family for a sizable donation of school supplies and backpacks. We would also like to recognize the following organizations for providing family resource information, school supplies, and community outreach:

Legence Bank, Future Leaders Family Fun Spot, Galatia Food Pantry, Galatia Dollar General, Wadi, ICHC, Integrated Care for Kids, Leo's Fitness, Early Childhood Collaboration, Hope Haven, The Guardian Center, Galatia First Baptist Church, Galatia Library, Galatia Fire Department, Egyptian Health Department, and Girl Scouts of America.

A special thank you to Galatia First Baptist Church for allowing us to use their facility to host our Back to School Bash every year. If you would like to participate in next year's event, please reach out via email to [email protected].

We want to give a heartfelt thank you to Stevenson’s Salvage Grocery in Leitchfield, Kentucky for their incredible generosity and support of Hope Haven of Southern Illinois!

After the owner learned about Hope Haven and our Locker Project, she didn’t just say, “That’s a great program.” She asked questions, wanted to learn more about the kids and families we serve. She’s not from our community, but she wanted to learn all about it. Then, she did something that truly touched our hearts.

She came out with a cart FULL of items to donate to Hope Haven. 🥹❤️

This donation came at such a meaningful time. The Locker Project provides essential items and resources to children who are facing difficult circumstances, and donations like this allow us to continue meeting the needs in our community.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you! ✨

🛏️IMPACT INSIGHTS: A safe place to sleep can change a child's life. Thanks to our amazing community of donors and supporters, we were able to deliver 5 beds to children in need. From the outside- it doesn’t look like much, but to those 5 kiddos it meant the world!

Hope Haven is proud to share some of the amazing work that we’ve been up to! Every contribution we receive at Hope Haven is used to benefit a child in need, and this is just one example. 🤍
