The First United Methodist Church is sponsoring school supplies for families in Knoxville with the School Supply Bash. Laura Shepherd, First Grade teacher with Knoxville Schools spoke with KNIA/KRLS News about the event:

“The School Supply Bash is a partnership between the First United Methodist Church and the Knoxville School District. This is for families that are in need of school supplies. Families can contact me and let me know they are in need of school supplies. Those families will then go to the School Supply Bash on July 27 in the commons of the Knoxville High school and pick up their supplies and their kids will be ready for the first day of school.”

The deadline to request school supplies is June 1.
