Ignite Arts & STEM is putting together our 5th annual back to school community fair on Saturday, July 11, 2026. This year's event promises to be even BIGGER than last year!

We will be providing resources, health screenings, school supplies, groceries, and activities to students and families in the Los Angeles, Inglewood, South Bay, West LA, Long Beach, and Compton communities. You are invited to participate. Spread the word to youth and families you know that can and will attend. FIRST COME, FIRST SERVE. While supplies last.

🎉 Past event partners have included CVS Project Health and other community resources to promote healthy living. 🌿 This year we will be partnering with more awesome community health resources to offer no-cost, no-catch health screenings and resources to guests of the event. 👨‍⚕️ #HealthIsACommunityPartner #BackToSchoolFair #HealthyLiving 🏫📚

📢 IMPORTANT DISTRIBUTION POLICIES: To ensure we serve the maximum number of families in our community, the following rules strictly apply to all attendees:

• Backpacks & School Supplies: The student must be physically present to receive a backpack. We cannot distribute supplies to proxies or adults without their children.
• Grocery Distribution: Limited to one (1) grocery allotment per family. * Availability: All items are distributed on a first-come, first-served basis while supplies last.

Our team is here to serve the community with joy and equity. We thank you in advance for your cooperation and for helping us keep this event fair for everyone in line!
