RealSource Realtors(R) Give Back to Students in Need

Waldwick, N.J. (August 25, 2016) – For over 16 years the RealSource Association of Realtors® Community Service Committee gathers together in August to fill new backpacks with school supplies for local children in need to help them get back to school with the necessary tools for success. This year, RealSource donated over 200 of these filled backpacks to organizations helping children in the surrounding communities.

“Giving back to the communities’ we work in is very important to us,” said RealSource Association of Realtors® Community Service Committee Chair Jeanine Soderlund. “With education being one of the most important tools a child can receive for their future, it’s important that these students are going back to school with the supplies they need in order to succeed in the classroom. It’s also vital to their self-esteem that they go back to school looking and feeling more like their fellow classmates and less like a child in need.”

The backpacks were distributed through Social Services of Ridgewood, Center for Food Action in Mahwah and Community Association with a Ministry to People (C.A.M.P) Youth Development Program in Paterson. All backpacks were purchased by RealSource and supplies were donated by RealSource Realtor® members.
