HOPKINSVILLE, KY (CHRISTIAN COUNTY NOW) – Fun Zone, an indoor play space for kids in Hopkinsville, is hosting their second annual Back to School Bash and school supply drive on Aug. 3. This community event will have fun activities for kids, while also distributing free school supplies.
Starting at 2:30 p.m. through 6:30 p.m., there will be food, bouncers, a foam machine, and their play space will be available. Owner Deneka Duerson shared that during their first event in 2024, they were able to provide school supplies to over 200 students. So far, 50 children have already signed up this year, and she expects that they will surpass last year’s numbers.
To participate, families have to register before Aug. 1 to ensure that ample supplies will be available.
In the meantime, donations from the community are needed so all families are able to get the supplies they need. They are asking for items like backpacks, bottled water, drinks, snacks, pencils, markers, lunchboxes, and more. Online monetary donations are also accepted. Donations can be dropped off at 1015 Skyline Drive between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m.
Businesses also have the opportunity to sponsor the event and help gather supplies. For more information, contact Fun Zone at funzone.hopkinsville@gmail.com.
