5th Annual “Let’s Love Lakewood” Event

Last year's "Let's Love Lakewood" event.

On August 15, 2015 Lakewood New Life Church (LNLC) will celebrate its 5th annual “Let’s Love Lakewood” event. "Let's Love Lakewood" is a free back-to-school outreach event for the whole community. At the event, LNLC will be giving away free backpacks filled with school supplies for children in need. The event will take place on August 15, 2015 from 12:00pm-4:00pm at 15300 Detroit Ave.

Last year over three thousand people attended the event which gave away 750 free back packs filled with school supplies within the first two hours of opening. The event will also feature 3 bounce houses for the kids, Rick Smith Jr the magician and Guinness Book of World Record holder, Outback Ray and his amazing animal show, face painting, music, food, games, and raffles throughout the afternoon.

The backpacks are given to elementary school children in the Lakewood area, specifically targeted to families who do not have the financial means to support the expense of sending their children back to school (in order to receive a backpack, the child must be present at the event). If you would like to donate towards this event you can do so at www.gofundme.com/letslovelakewood or by mailing a check, made out to LNLC, to PO BOX 770085 Lakewood, OH 44107.

Every $5 raised buys a backpack and school supplies for a child in need!
