Peoples Institutional Baptist Church, a 501(c)(3) organization, is located in the central area of Seattle, WA. In 2002, PIBC started the Educational Resource Street Fair as a social justice outreach program. Today, ERSF has grown into a highly successful public/private partnership and community program raising awareness and advocating for the needs of children, youth and families from low-wage households.
The ERSF achieves its mission by spotlighting programs and organizations that help families move out of poverty. Last year, ERSF helped parents prepare 1,081 students to return to school with the tools they need to be successful: computers, books, backpacks, school supplies, tutors, mentors and much more.
To earn free school supplies students must be registered for the fair. Please bring your student ID and, if you registered online, confirmation number to the registration booth on Saturday between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. to pick up your student passport. Express lines will be open for those who have registered online. At this time online registration has ended. You may still register in-person the day of the fair.
This year students grades 1–12 had an opportunity to enter the first annual Educational Resource Street Fair writing contest. Students wrote a creative essay on a passionate subject of interest entered into a competition to win a laptop computer. The essays have been received and over 80 winners have been announced.
