Making sure ALL of our kids are ready for a great school year!
For over 25 years, the Back-to-School Help Fair has worked to ensure that every student in Quincy has what they need to have a healthy, successful school year.
Starting the School Year off Right!
We seek to provide everything a student might need to start the school year–from checkups, haircuts, and dental exams to clothes, shoes, and backpacks full of supplies.
Physician Checkups
Local doctors volunteer their time to provide routine physicals required to enroll in school.
Dental Exams
Dentists from the community give free exams to students to ensure they are healthy and meet state requirements.
Haircuts
You gotta look good when school starts! A haircut from a local barber or beautician makes sure kids look sharp.
Backpacks & Supplies
Churches and organizations throughout the community provide and stock hundreds of backpacks so each student has what they need.
Clothes
Hundreds of shirts, pants, and outfits are available free of charge to make sure all kids have clothes in good condition that fit well.
Shoes
Pick up a pair of kicks to round out your morning at the Help Fair.
We are only able to provide for the needs of our children because of your generosity. If you are willing to donate your time, talent, or treasure to this effort, please contact First Baptist Church at (217) 223-4468.
