Union City residents are invited to attend the 5th Annual Back to School Bash hosted by the Randolph County Health Department. This free community event will take place on July 29, 2026, from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. at the Randolph County 4-H Fairgrounds.
The event is designed to help families prepare for the upcoming school year by providing essential supplies and health services. Children who attend will receive free backpacks filled with school supplies. Organizers note that children must be present to receive supplies.
In addition to school materials, the event will offer a variety of free services and activities, including:
Sports physicals
Vaccinations provided by the Indiana Immunization Coalition
Community resource tables

The Back to School Bash is made possible through partnerships with several organizations, including Anthem, CareSource, Ascension, and the Indiana Immunization Coalition. These partners help ensure families have access to important health resources and support services ahead of the school year.
This annual event continues to be a valuable opportunity for local families to save on back-to-school expenses while connecting with community resources in a fun, family-friendly setting.
Residents are encouraged to arrive early, as supplies may be limited.
