The Back to School Bash was an unforgettable way to launch the school year, bringing together more than 3,000 students and families for school supplies, food, and pure community joy. Minnesota CHILL Foundation and Ms. Houston’s Caring Hands proudly supplied over 2,000 backpacks, helping ensure every child walked away equipped and excited for the year ahead. This marks the fourth year the Minnesota CHILL Foundation has shown up big for Brooklyn Park youth, contributing thousands of backpacks that support confidence, preparedness, and equity.
Our commitment goes far beyond school supplies — we are investing in young scholars who deserve a strong start. Families left with smiles, support, and a reminder that their community is behind them. Events like this strengthen trust, connection, and hope for our youth. We are honored to show up year after year, and we look forward to expanding our impact even more. Together, we are building a community where every child feels seen, supported, and ready to succeed.
