A BIG THANK YOU to the amazing hairstylists and barbers who donated their time and talents at our Back to School Bash!

We are so grateful to Angie at Designer Cuts, AuSoleil Spa and stylist Stephanie, Savvy Expressions, and Freshest Fades for giving their time and skills to provide haircuts and styles for kids in our community.

You did more than give a haircut — you helped kids walk into a new school year feeling fresh, confident, and ready!

Thank you for showing up for Fostoria’s kids and using your talents to make a difference. We appreciate each of you and are so thankful to have businesses and professionals in our community who are willing to give back!

What an amazing day, Fostoria!

A HUGE thank you to all of our donors, community partners, vendors, churches, volunteers, and families who helped make our Back to School Bash such a success!

We couldn’t do this without a community that continues to show up for our kids and families. Every donation, partnership, helping hand, and smiling face made a difference.

This is what community looks like. Together, we are making Fostoria stronger!

A big thank-you to POET and NCAT for generously donating and transporting food to our community!

These donations were placed in local Blessing Boxes throughout Fostoria to help individuals and families who may need a little extra support.

We also encourage our community to help keep these boxes filled. If you are able, please consider donating nonperishable food items at one of these locations:

• Hope Lutheran Church
• First Church of the Nazarene
• Fostoria Church of God
• Great Lakes Community Action Partnership
• Fostoria Green Apartments
• Kaubisch Memorial Public Library
