Blake Griffin and the Dream Center on Saturday at 10 a.m. will play host to the annual Back to School Bash.

The event will benefit families from impoverished areas making under $15,000 annually. The areas include Echo Park, the Rampart District, Skid Row, Lincoln Heights, South Central L.A. and Watts.

Among the items to be distributed are 2,000 back packs, each filled with school supplies. Families can also receive free dental checkups, health screenings, haircuts, clothes and groceries.

Some of the fun stuff will include face painting, water and “slime” games, jumpers, a petting zoo and a science fair.

The Dream Center is a volunteer organization established in 1994. It is located at 2301 Bellvue Ave., Los Angeles, 90026.
