Packing Purpose: The Barn Becomes Headquarters for Back-to-School Magic!

If you’ve noticed a bit extra hustle and bustle around the barn lately, you’re not imagining things!

The barn at The Commons at Morris Farm is taking on a brand-new role: Official Back-to-School Mission Control.

We’re thrilled to host a fantastic group of community volunteers who are using our space as a staging area to sort, pack, and prep hundreds of school supplies and backpacks. From notebooks and pencils to brand-new backpacks filled with everything a student needs for a successful year, the barn is buzzing with energy, teamwork, and community spirit.

Mark Your Calendars: The Big Giveaway Event!

All of this hard work leads up to one big day:

• 📅 When: Sunday, August 16th

• 📍 Where: The Community Center

• 🎒 What: Free back-to-school backpack and supply giveaway for local students!

It Takes a Village

We are so honored that The Commons can serve as a gathering space for projects like this that directly support our local families and kids. Watching the community rally together to make sure every student steps into the new school year feeling confident and prepared is what true community is all about.

Stay tuned for more updates as the supplies pile up and the backpacks get packed! If you see our volunteers hard at work around the farm, be sure to send a warm wave or shout-out their way.

Heading to the event on August 16th? We can't wait to see you at the Community Center!
