Together, We Carried Hope Forward: Thank You, Everett

Thank you for joining us at the 2026 Bible Way Block Party and Backpack Giveaway.

We are incredibly grateful to everyone who came out on August 22 to celebrate, connect, and support our Everett community. Your presence made the day more than a backpack giveaway—it made it a true celebration of community, family, and togetherness.

We were honored to provide students with backpacks and essential school supplies as they prepared for the new school year, while creating a space where families, neighbors, and community members could enjoy food, activities, entertainment, and one another’s company.

A special thank-you goes to the community partners, volunteers, supporters, families, and everyone who contributed time, energy, and resources. Events like this show what can happen when a community comes together to support children and families.

To everyone who attended: thank you for showing up, sharing your smiles, and being part of the celebration. We look forward to continuing to build a stronger, more connected, and supportive community together.

Join the conversation: share general encouragement and community resources in the comments. Please do not post private health, housing, financial, or identifying information. For urgent danger call 911; for suicide or crisis support call or text 988.

With gratitude, MystiCares Washington
