RealSource Realtors Give Back to Mahwah Students in Need

RealSource donated over 200 backpacks full of school supplies to organizations that help local children.

Every August, the RealSource Association of Realtors Community Service Committee gathers together to fill new backpacks with school supplies for local children in need in order to help them get back to school with the necessary tools for success. This year, RealSource donated over 200 backpacks to organizations helping local children in need.

The backpacks will be distributed through Social Services of Ridgewood, Center for Food Action in Mahwah, and a Community Association with a Ministry to People in Paterson. All backpacks were purchased by RealSource and supplies were donated by RealSource Realtor members.

“Education is incredibly important, and so is going back to school equipped with the proper supplies,” said RealSource Association of Realtors Community Service Committee Co-Chair Tammy Roberts of Upper Saddle River. “These students deserve our full support and we are thankful to be able to help.”
