🎒🧡 A DAY OF FUN, FAMILY & COMMUNITY! 🧡🎒

Sunday’s Salem Gardens Kids Day & Back 2 School Bash was such a beautiful celebration of our young people and our community!

From games and activities to music, food, face painting, school supplies, giveaways, and plenty of smiles, it was wonderful seeing families come together to enjoy the day.

A huge thank you to everyone who helped make the event possible—and to every family who came out and celebrated with us! 🧡

These are the moments that remind us what community looks like: showing up, pouring into our youth, and making sure our children know they are supported.

Here are a few moments from Sunday! 📸✨
