As back-to-school season approaches, local organizations are stepping up to ensure Hutchinson students start the year confident and prepared.

Wisdom in Motion and Hutch in Harmony are hosting the “Equipped to Learn” giveaway on Saturday, July 26, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at 314 W. 1st Avenue, Suite B. The event offers free backpacks and USD 308-approved school supplies to local students in a supportive, welcoming environment.

The Hutchinson Youth City Council is lending its support to the event, highlighting the importance of investing in the future of the community by helping students in need.

“This is what community care looks like,” organizers said. “We’re building a stronger Hutch, one backpack at a time.”

In addition to the school supply giveaway, the event will feature a bounce house, hot dogs, chips, and drinks, and plenty of community spirit.

Families with students in USD 308 are encouraged to attend and take part in the free, family-friendly event designed to uplift and empower Hutchinson’s youth.
