The 2nd Annual Bundle Up & Pack Up is scheduled for January 3, 2026. This event will offer warm clothing items, including coats, hoodies, gloves, and beanies, along with school supplies and snack bags for students. Families will also receive a food box. 

Our mission is to supply essential resources for the second half of the academic year, reducing financial strain on families so that students can focus on their education without the concern of lacking necessary supplies.

We have various opportunities, including community packing events where we assemble school supplies and food boxes prior to the event, as well as assisting on the day of the event by distributing materials to students and their families.

On Saturday, December 13  from 11 AM – 2 PM, we will host a Pre-Packing Party at First United Methodist Church, 2011 Branner Ave, Jefferson City, TN 37760.  Join us as we pre-pack school supplies and materials to prepare for the event.
