Back to School Fair

Back to School Fair is now full. We are no longer accepting sign ups at this time.

The Oshkosh Community Back to School Fair provides 1,000 low-income Oshkosh students an equal opportunity to be better equipped with the necessary supplies to be successful in school. Each student receives a backpack with school supplies, a new outfit of school-appropriate clothing and hygiene items. Local hairstylists are on-site at the Fair to provide haircuts at no cost to students in attendance. A voucher is provided for shoes at Rogan’s in Oshkosh.

The Back to School Fair is held in August every year. You MUST have a time reserved in order to attend the Back to School Fair so sign up ASAP! No walk-ins will be accepted. If your child is a Club member and you still need assistance getting school supplies please contact Danielle Bittelman at danielleb@bgcosh.org or (920) 233-1414 ext 124.

The 2024 Back to School Fair will take place on August 14-15.

This fair takes place at Oshkosh North High School at 1100 W Smith Ave. Many volunteers are needed to ensure the Back to School Fair is a success each year. If you are interested in volunteering, please sign up at the following link: Volunteer Sign Up
