Ready! Set! Go! Back To School is
a collaboration among the IMA, the
Savannah-Chatham County Public
Schools, the City of Savannah,
nonprofit organizations, businesses
and churches.
It began in 2008 as a project of the
Interdenominational Ministerial
Alliance (IMA) to provide school
supplies to youth. The event has
grown from its original mission and
now gives parents school supplies,
information and other resources to
help their children have successful
school year.
