On July 31, 2025 there will be a Back to School Fair at Platte County Health Department.
Our goal is to provide low-income students and families of Platte County an equal and safe opportunity for school readiness by enriching physical, mental, and social well-being.
In 2024, 885 children were provided with backpacks, hygiene packets, eye screenings, dental screenings, sports physicals, vaccines, and access to community resources.
Unfortunalety, our partner who has supplied hygiene kits previously is no longer able to fill the need. Our goal is still to be able to provide hygiene kits. Our ask is for 50 bottles of 12-16 ounce bottles of shampoo.
