ROSWELL, GA — North Fulton Community Charities’ annual Back to School program distributed backpacks filled with school supplies to over 900 children this year. The Back to School program presented by CAS Group and Northside Hospital serves local families in need.

“In spite of a global pandemic, our community really came together this year to provide underserved children in our community with the tools they need to succeed during the school year,” Program Coordinator Jacquie Tracy said. “We were overwhelmed with the outpouring of supplies and financial donations for this year’s program.”

Triton Claim Management, LexisNexis Risk Solutions, JM Family Enterprises and State Farm Agent Celia Sandoval were also sponsors for North Fulton Community Charities’ Back to School program. The space for the program was donated by the Hubert Realty Company.
