23rd Annual Back 2 School Bash

The 23rd Annual Back 2 School Bash will be held on Saturday, July 25, 2026, 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Friends Recycling Center, 2350 N.W. 27th Ave., Ocala, FL 34475. At the FREE event, students receive backpacks filled with school supplies and a free lunch for all attendees.

Our objective is for every child to have the best learning opportunity possible, starting with making sure they have the necessary tools they need to be successful in the classroom. This is often impossible for many families whose budgets are already stretched too thin. The Back 2 School Bash will provide students in our community with the supplies they need to succeed in school this year.

We need financial support from businesses and organizations.

Please consider supporting the event this year. If you have supported us in the past, we sincerely appreciate your support.
