Oshkosh Community Back 2 School Fair

The Oshkosh Community Back 2 School Fair addresses the needs of many low-income families in Oshkosh by preparing their children for a new school year. It not only helps the families, but also helps children feel better about returning to school. The Community Back to School Fair was established in 1998, assisting 50 youth with back to school items for their children. In recent years, the need to assist more youth has continued to grow and the event now typically assists over 1,000 youth per year. We serve youth from 4K to 12th grade by providing backpacks, clothing, hygiene items, haircuts, and the necessary school supplies for the appropriate grade level.
