The 2014 Back to School Fiesta will take place at Wimberley United Methodist Church on CR 1492, Saturday, August 16 from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. The annual ecumenical event with multiple community partners helps local children in need with free school supplies, backpacks, haircuts, a pair of new shoes and immunizations for children on Medicaid, CHIP, or have no insurance.
The Barnabas Connection started the Back to School Fiesta in 2006 assisting 100 children and has grown steadily each year, helping 500 students attending school in Wimberley for the last consecutive four years.
