Collecting Backpacks for Kids Campaign

During July 2009, the Jefferson City Area Board of REALTORS held a campaign to collect new or "like new" backpacks for area school children.  These backpacks would be donated to the Samaritan Center for distribution to children in need. Having a new or gently used backpack to begin the school year could provide added confidence to a child who might not otherwise have this basic supply.

We are pleased to report that 93 backpacks were collected and donated to the Samaritan Center.  Thank you for making this campaign a success and helping to enrich the lives of our area children.
