Faith Works Counseling and City Hope Bible Church are co-hosting a Free Back-to-School Clothing and School Supplies Giveaway in St. Louis on Tuesday, August 18, 2026, from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM. The event takes place at City Hope Bible Church (5868 W. Florissant Ave., St. Louis, MO 63120). It is open to all students and families with no registration required (walk-ins welcome) to help reduce financial stress ahead of the new school year.
Let’s be honest: back-to-school shopping can turn even the calmest parent into a professional stress-ball squeezer. Between the endless lists of ultra-specific color-coded folders, growing feet that outgrow shoes overnight, and the total budget shock, August has a way of sneaking up on our wallets.
Well, take a deep breath and give your budget a high-five—Faith Works Counseling and City Hope Bible Church are teaming up to make sure your kids step into the new school year feeling confident, stylish, and fully equipped!
Whether you’ve got a kindergartener picking out their very first backpack or a high-schooler who acts way too cool for school (we see you), mark your calendars for one of St. Louis’s best community events of the season.
