Bayside Block Party Returns: Annual Backpack Giveaway Unites Everett Community with Faith and Service
Everett, WA – June 25, 2025 – This August, the Bayside Neighborhood Association, Bible Way Church, and Mysti’s Adult and Family Services will proudly host the annual Bayside Block Party and Backpack Giveaway in Everett, Washington — bringing the community together for a vibrant day of celebration, support, and essential back-to-school resources.
Now a highly anticipated community tradition, the event features: – Free backpacks filled with school supplies for students in need – Live music and entertainment – Family-friendly activities, food vendors, and bounce houses – On-site case management, housing resources, and enrollment assistance for local services
This collaborative effort is about more than supplies — it’s about showing up for youth and families, building unity, and ensuring everyone feels supported going into the new school year.
“This event isn’t just about backpacks—it’s about belonging, dignity, and connection,” said Giovanne Schachere, Founder & CEO of Mysti’s Adult and Family Services. “We’re proud to stand alongside our partners and serve our community in a way that’s joyful and meaningful.”
“As a church, we’re committed to showing up with more than words,” said a representative from Bible Way Church. “This is ministry in action—meeting people where they are, with what they need.”
“Each year, the event reminds us how strong Everett is when we work together,” added a spokesperson from the Bayside Neighborhood Association. “We’re proud to be part of this meaningful tradition.”

Last year, dozens of families accessed vital support, including housing referrals, phone assistance, and health plan navigation — while hundreds of children left smiling with fully stocked backpacks.
The Bayside Block Party and Backpack Giveaway will take place in early August (final date TBA) in Everett’s Bayside neighborhood. Local press, volunteers, and donors are invited to get involved or help spread the word.
