Ready Fest History

Participation

2019

(Our First Year)
475 Students Served

2020

Covid Shutdown

2021

630 Students Served

2022

769 Students Served
That is only 11% of student population we were able to serve. We knew that there were many more families out there than need help.

2023

1098 Students Served
(a 44% increase)

The need was so great in 2023 that we ran out of supplies for students.

2024

Based on the upward participation trend,

Ready Fest is planning on 1,500 students attending our 2024 event.

100% of Shelby County schools had students who participated in Ready Fest

Be part of our history.

Ready Fest is an extraordinary event
for the students
for the families
and, especially for the people who help make it happen.
