Kokomo is buzzing with a whole week of exciting events and opportunities for families! The Hand Up Food Pantry is back in action, ready to help those in need on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. It’s all about coming together and supporting each other, especially when circumstances get a little tough. And let’s be honest, who couldn’t use a little extra help now and then?

Over at the Kokomo Howard County Public Library, the calendar is packed with fun activities, from a Shark-tacular Bash for the kiddos to sewing workshops that could turn you into the next fashion designer—watch out Project Runway! What’s better than crafting and storytelling? And let’s not forget the YMCA’s annual golf outing; it’s tee time for a cause as they rally to support local programs.

As summer winds down, Kokomo is proving to be anything but quiet. With a Back to School Shoe Event and rallies supplying free backpacks and supplies, it seems the community is warming up to school spirit faster than you can say “sharp pencils.” So, what are you looking forward to as the new school year begins? Drop your thoughts below!

Whether you love the arts or just need a good laugh, there’s something for everyone this week. It’s a fantastic reminder that summer fun doesn’t have to end with the season—Kokomo is just getting started!
