🎒 Supporting Military Families: Back-to-School Bash 2025
🎯 Our Goal: Fill 50 Backpacks with School Supplies
📝 How you can help: bring school supplies at one of our drop-off locations
At Caviness & Cates, we believe in building more than homes—we believe in building community. That’s why we’re proud to partner with the Armed Services YMCA Fort Bragg for their annual Back-to-School Bash, an initiative dedicated to equipping military children with the tools and confidence they need to start the school year strong.
Now in its third year, the Back-to-School Bash is a heartfelt event designed to support local military families. What began with 100 students has now grown into a mission to serve 300 military children this year through an open-house style celebration filled with school supplies, resources, and smiles.
We’re setting a goal to collect school supplies for at least 50 children, and we’d love your support to reach (or exceed!) that target.
📝 Items We’re Collecting
To ensure every child starts the school year prepared, please consider donating any of the following new items:

🎯 Deadline to Donate: August 4, 2025
