Our Annual Backpack Giveaway event occurs every year; usually prior to schools returning from their summer break. This is the opportunity for St. John’s United Methodist Church and its partners to help students get off to a good start in their new school year by providing them with new backpacks full of school supplies. It is also a way of giving back to the community here in Watts. We will need all hands on deck to have a successful event. We welcome monetary donations as well as donations of school supplies. We are planning to have our Annual Backpack Giveaway this year on Saturday, August 8, 2026, from 9:00 a.m. to noon. Contact Helen Ricks @ (323) 564-5638 for more details.
