School Readiness Fair 2026

Because of Unite Table Rock Lake and volunteers from organizations throughout Stone County, over 500 children and 300 families are ready for back to school! Over 60 vendors (businesses, non profits, churches) plus local restaurants, hair stylists and so many more people made this event amazing. Kids got a hot meal, backpacks, school supplies, haircuts, socks, underwear, sports physicals, food, hygiene items, school spirit shirts, shoes, clothing, resources and more. The parents and kids felt loved, cared for, and seen. This event takes a “village” coming together and it was heartwarming to see! What a special privilege we have at New Testament Christian Church be the host facility for events like this in our community!

From Unite Table Rock Lake on Facebook:

"This gratitude warrants its own post. THANK YOU to New Testament Christian Church for always sharing your amazing facility with us for School Readiness and Christmas Assistance. Our beloved Sherry Bedore likes to be behind the scenes but we see her and her amazing heart."
