🙏🙏Please help us collect supplies for this back to school supply drive!
📚🎒 HELP US FILL 250 BACKPACKS FOR LOCAL STUDENTS! 🎒📚
Last year, our community came together in an incredible way. We handed out 100 backpacks in just 30 minutes—and the need was still greater than the supply.
This year, we’re stepping up our efforts.
🇺🇸 Coldwell Banker Smith Homes, REALTORS® is partnering with BOSAR and River Chase Village to provide 250 backpacks for local school children as they head back to class.
The reality is simple: many families in our community are struggling, and something as basic as school supplies can create an added burden. Together, we can help ensure that students start the school year prepared, confident, and ready to learn.
