Northpoint Community Church announced today that its Back-to-Schools Ministry has been selected as the recipient of a $1,000 grant from The Kirk Cameron Show , in partnership with America’s Christian Credit Union. The grant will directly support the church’s annual initiative to provide school supplies and resources to students and families across Bossier Parish.
The Back-to-Schools Ministry has become a cornerstone outreach for Northpoint Community Church, serving hundreds of children each year with school uniforms, sweatshirts, school supplies, and encouragement as they prepare for a new academic year.
“We are honored and grateful to receive this generous grant,” said Mary McHenry, director of the Back-to-Schools program at Northpoint Community Church. “This partnership allows us to expand our reach and make an even greater impact on families in our community who need support as the school year begins.”
“Supporting ministries like Northpoint’s Back-to-Schools outreach is exactly the kind of community impact we hope to encourage,” said Vicki VannBerstein, president and CEO of America’s Christian Credit Union. “This program not only meets practical needs but also brings encouragement and hope to families as they prepare for a new school year.”
The grant, funded through a national effort by The Kirk Cameron Show and America’s Christian Credit Union, recognizes ministries and organizations that are making meaningful, community-focused contributions. Northpoint’s program was selected for its hands-on approach to meeting practical needs while fostering encouragement and connection among local families.
With the additional funding, Northpoint will help provide over 3300 uniform sets to families in need. This includes their 12 adopted Title 1 schools, the Sunshine Closet and students all across Bossier Parish.
“Our mission has always been to serve our community in tangible ways,” McHenry added. “This support enables us to do just that, helping students start the school year feeling confident, prepared, and loved.”
The Back-to-Schools Uniform Giveaway event is expected to take place later this summer and will be open to families throughout the Bossier City area. For more information about Northpoint Community Church and its Back-to-Schools Ministry, please visit https://www.ncc.team/bts .
